SAMAEL AUN WEOR was born in Colombia on March 3,
1917. His great spiritual yearnings led him to conduct in-depth
research in the fields of Psychology, Anthropology, Science,
Practical Esoterism and Primitive Christianity.
In addition to his exemplary life, his doctrine remains in print
in more than one hundred works translated into different
languages. These teachings can, in turn, be synthesized into five
great works recommended by him for all those who truly want to
delve into their interior world through direct verification; and this
is an essential requisite: "To go beyond the simple, literal
interpretation of an intellectual nature."
In 1960, he founded the Universal Christian Gnostic
Movement of Colombia, the principles of which are presently
practiced in more than forty countries of the world. On
December 24th, 1977, he died in Mxico City, after having
devoted his entire life for the good of mankind. He met his
objectives by leaving these teachings for all humanity, and
someone to lead the way: V.M. Rabol, in the person of Joaquin
E. Amortegui Valbuena, about whom he declared the following
in writing: "As a judge of Karma, the V.M. Rabol has absolute
power to establish order wherever he deems necessary.
Undoubtedly, the V.M. Rabol must destroy many clay idols,
and correct many mistakes."

PROLOGUE
chool teachers and college professors should make an

in-depth study of the Revolutionary Psychology which
is taught by the International Gnostic Movement.
Revolutionary Psychology on The Move is radically

different from anything ever known before by the same name.
Beyond any shadow of a doubt and without fear of being
mistaken we can say that throughout the centuries, since the
deep dark night of all ages, psychology has never fallen so low
as we are witnessing in the present era of rebels without a
cause and rock stars.
To heighten our misfortune, the outdated and reactionary
psychology of these modern times has regrettably lost its
significance and any direct contact with its true origin.
In these times of sexual degeneration and complete mental
deterioration, it is not only impossible to define the term
"psychology" with complete accuracy, but also the fundamental subjects of psychology are now truly unknown.

Those who mistakenly believe that psychology is a
contemporary science of recent times are really confused because psychology is a very ancient science which has its origin
in the Ancient Mystery Schools.
For the snob, the ultramodern rogue and the close-minded,
it is impossible to define that which is known as psychology. It
is obvious that psychology has never existed under its own
name, except in this contemporary age, be-cause for some
reason it was always suspected of having subversive
tendencies of an either political or religious nature.
Consequently, it became necessary for psychology to hide
itself behind many different masks.
Since ancient times, among the numerous scenes in the
theater of life, psychology has always played its role
intelligently under the guise of philosophy.
Throughout the frightening darkness of past centuries,
along the banks of the Ganges River in sacred Vedic India,
there were forms of yoga which were basically pur experimental psychology of a high calibre.
The seven forms of yoga have always been described as
methods, procedures or philosophical systems.
In the Arab world the sacred teachings of the Sufis, partly
metaphysical and partly religious, are of a totally
psychological nature.

In ancient Europe which was rotten to the core with so
many wars, racial, religious and political prejudices, etc., even
up to the end of the past century, psychology was disguised
under the title of philosophy in order to go unnoticed.
In spite of all its divisions and subdivisions such as logic,
theory of knowledge, ethics and aesthetics, etc., philosophy in
itself is beyond any doubt an evident self-reflection, a mystical
cognition of the Being and a cognitive functionalism of the
awakened Consciousness.
The error of many schools of philosophy lies in having
considered psychology as something inferior to philosophy,
something which is only related to the lowest and the most
trivial aspects of human nature.
A comparative study of religions leads us to the logical
conclusion that the science of psychology was always very
closely associated with all religious principles.
Any comparative study of religions shows us that there are
extraordinary treasures of the science of psychology in very
orthodox and sacred literature of various countries during
different eras.
Extensive investigations in the field of Gnosticism allow us
to discover this wonderful compilation of different Gnostic
authors from early Christianity. Known as "Philokalia this
collection is still used in the Eastern Churches of our time,
especially for the instruction of monks.

Beyond any doubt and without the slightest fear of being
mistaken, we can emphatically declare that "Philokalia is
essentially pure and experimental psychology.
In the Ancient Mystery Schools of Greece, Egypt, Rome,
India, Persia, Mxico, Peni, Assyria, Chaldea, etc., etc., etc.,
psychology has always been linked to philosophy, to real
objective art, to science and to religion.
In ancient times psychology was intelligently hidden in the
graceful forms of sacred dancers, in strange and mysterious
hieroglyphics, in beautiful sculptures, poetry, drama and even
in the exquisite music of the temples.
Before it was separated into science, philosophy, art and
religion which continued on their own, psychology reigned
above all other teachings of the Ancient Mystery Schools.
When the Initiatic Schools began to close because of the
Kali Yuga era or the dark age in which we still live, psychology survived within the symbolism of different esoteric and
pseudo-esoteric schools of the modern world and especially
within gnostic esoterism.
In-depth analysis and investigation allow us to understand
with striking clarity that the different systems and
psychological doctrines, which existed in the past and which
exist in the present, can be divided into the following two
categories:

1. The doctrines of psychology, as interpreted by many
intellectuals. In fact, modern Psychology belongs to this
category.
2. The doctrines which study man from the point of view of the
Revolution of Consciousness. The latter are indeed the
original and the most ancient doctrines. They alone allow us
to understand the living origins of psychology and its
profound meaning.
When all of us have completely understood, on every level
of the mind, how important it is to study man from this new
point of view - the Revolution of Consciousness - we will
realize that psychology is the study of principles, laws and
actions which are very closely related to the radical and
definitive transformation of the individual.
It is urgent that teachers of elementary and high schools,
colleges and universities completely understand the critical
times in which we live and the catastrophic state of psychological disorientation in which the new generation finds itself.
We must guide the new wave onto the path of the Revolution of Consciousness, which is only possible through the
Revolutionary Psychology of Fundamental Education.
Samael Aun Weor
THE LEVEL OF BEING

Chapter 1
THE LEVEL OF BEING

ho are we? Where do we
come from? Where are we
going? What are we living
for? Why are we living? . . .
Unquestionably, the poor
"Intellectual
Animal"
mistakenly called man not
only does not know, but
worse, he does not know that
he does not know . . .
The worst is that we find our-selves in a very strange and
difficult situation.
We are unaware of the hidden reasons for all our tragedies,
yet we are convinced that we know everything . . .
Take a "RATIONAL MAMMAL" - one of those who prides
himself on being influential - to the middle of the Sahara
desert and leave him there, far away from any oasis, and
observe what happens to him from an airplane . . .
The facts will speak for themselves. Although the
"INTELLECTUAL HUMANOID" presumes himself to be strong
and believes that he is very manly, deep down he is incredibly
weak...

The "RATIONAL ANIMAL" is one hundred percent foolish;
he thinks highly of himself; he believes he is doing wonderfully well with his Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, and
University education, books on etiquette, family prestige, etc.,
etc., etc.
Unfortunately, in spite of the many degrees, good manners
and money, we know very well that any stomach ache can
cause us grief, and that deep inside we continue to be unhappy
and miserable.
A study of Universal History is enough to show us that we
are the same old barbarians of long ago, and that instead of
improving, we have become worse...
This twentieth century with its ostentation, wars,
prostitution, worldwide sodomy, sexual degeneration, drugs,
alcohol, excessive cruelty, extreme perversity and
monstrosities, etc., etc., etc., is the mirror in which we must
see ourselves. There is no valid reason to boast about having
reached a higher stage of development. . .
To think that time denotes progress is absurd; unfortunately, the learned ignoramuses continue to be embattled
within the Dogma of Evolution...
Throughout all the bleak pages of "Dark History" we
always find the same atrocious cruelties, ambitions, wars,
etc...

Nevertheless, our "Super-civilized" contemporaries are still
convinced that war is something secondary, a passing incident
which has nothing to do with their glorified "Modern
Civilization."
Surely, it is the "way we are" that is important; some people
will be drunkards, others abstainers, some honest, and others
shameless. The world is made up of all types of people...
The mass is the sum of the individuals. The nature of each
individual determines the nature of the masses, the nature of
the Government, etc.
The masses are nothing but an extension of the individual.
The transformation of the masses, the people, is impossible
unless each individual, each person, transforms himself. . .
No one can deny the fact that there are many different
social levels. There are church-goers and prostitutes,
businessmen and farmers, etc., etc., etc.
Likewise, there are also different Levels of the Being. It is
what we are internally - lavish or petty, generous or stingy,
violent or peaceful, chaste or lustful - that attracts the different
circumstances of life . . .
The lustful person will always attract and take part in
scenes, dramas, and even tragedies of lewdness...

A drunkard will always attract drunkards and will always
find himself frequenting bars or clubs; that is obvious . . .
What will the profiteer attract? What will the selfish
attract? How many problems, prisons or misfortunes will they
encounter?
In spite of this, embittered people who are tired of suffering
have the desire to change, to turn the page of their personal
history...
Poor people! They want to change but they do not know
how. They are unaware of the procedure. They find themselves stuck on a dead-end street. . .
What happened to them yesterday will happen again today
and tomorrow. They keep repeating the same mistakes and
never learn the lessons of life, even if they are held at
gunpoint.
Things keep repeating in their lives. They say the same
things, do the same things and complain about the same
things...
This dull repetition of dramas, comedies and tragedies will
continue as long as we carry all the undesirable elements of
Anger, Covetousness, Lust, Envy, Pride, Sloth and Gluttony
within ourselves.
What is our level of morality? Or better yet: what is our
Level of the Being?

The repetition of all our sufferings, setbacks and misfortunes will continue over and over again, as long as the Level
of our Being does not radically change . . .
All of the exterior events and all that involves us in the
different circumstances of life is exclusively the reflection of
what we carry within.
We have every reason to solemnly declare that the "exterior
is the reflection of the interior."
When someone changes internally, and such a change is
radical, then the external environment, circumstances and Life
also change.
Lately (in 1974) I have been observing a group of people
who took over someone else's land. Here in Mxico, they are
curiously known as "Parachutists."
They are neighbours of the Campestre Churubusco
housing complex. They live very close to my house; that is
why I have been able to study them closely . . .
Being poor is certainly not a crime. Their serious problem
lies in their level of being...
Every day they fight among themselves, get drunk, insult
one another and eventually murder others as unfortunate as
themselves. They live in filthy huts where hatred reigns
instead of love...

Often I have thought that if any one of them would
eliminate hatred, anger, lust, drunkenness, cursing, cruelty,
selfishness, envy, pride, slander, conceit, etc., etc., etc., from
their interior, he would be liked by other people. By the
simple Law of Psychological Affinities, he would mingle with
more refined and spiritual people. These new relationships
would definitely bring him social and economic change . . .
This would be the means to get a person like that out of the
pig sty, out of the filthy sewer...
So then, if we really want a radical change, the first thing
we must understand is that each one of us - whether black or
white, yellow or brown, ignorant or learned, etc. - is at a
particular Level of the Being.
What is our Level of Being? Have you yourselves ever
reflected on this? If we are not aware of our present state,
then it will be impossible to move to another level.
Chapter 2
THE WONDERFUL STAIRWAY

e must yearn for a real change and get out of this boring
routine, of this purely mechanical and tiresome life . . .

First, we must clearly understand that each one of us,
whether we are bourgeois or
proletarian, wealthy or middleclass, rich or very poor, is at a
particular Level of Being.
The Level of Being of the
alcoholic is different from that
of the abstainer, just as the
prostitute is on a very different
Level of Being from that of the virgin. What we are saying is
undeniable and irrefutable.
At this stage, we lose nothing in imagining a stairway with
many steps that extends vertically upward...
Unquestionably, each one of us is on one of these steps. On
the lower ones we find people worse off than ourselves, and
on the higher ones those that are better off. . .
Of course, on this extraordinary Vertical, on this
"Wonderful Stairway," we can find all Levels of Being... Each
person is different, and no one can deny this...
Undoubtedly, we are not talking about pretty or ugly faces,
nor about differences in age. There are young and old people,
some are close to dying and others are newborn babies...

The issue of "time" and "years," of being born, growing,
maturing, marrying, reproducing, aging and dying, is exclusive to the horizontal path . . .
On this "Wonderful Stairway," on the Vertical, the concept
of time is meaningless. Only Levels of Being can be found on
the steps of this stairway . . .
The mechanical hope of people is useless. They believe
that things will get better with time. Our grandfathers and our
great-grandfathers thought this way, but facts have proved
precisely the contrary . . .
What matters is the Level of Being, and this is Vertical. We
find ourselves on one step, but we can always move up to
another one . . .
This "Wonderful Stairway" that we are talking about, and
which refers to the different Levels of Being, has certainly
nothing to do with linear time . . .
A higher Level of Being is immediately above us from
moment to moment.
This higher level cannot be found in any remote, horizontal future; it is here and now, within us, on the Vertical. . .
It is evident, and anyone can understand that these two
lines - the Horizontal and the Vertical - are found within our
Psychological interior from moment to moment, and that they
form a Cross .. .

The personality develops and unfolds on the Horizontal
line of Life. It is born and dies within its linear time. It is
mortal. There is no tomorrow for the personality of the
deceased. The personality is not the Being. . .
The Levels of the Being and the Being itself are timeless.
They have nothing to do with the Horizontal Line. They are
within us, right now, on the Vertical. . .
Therefore, it would clearly be absurd to look for our own
Being outside ourselves . . .
It would be worthwhile to establish the following
corollary: positions, titles, promotions, etc. in the external
physical world will in no way bring about authentic exaltation
or re-valuation of the Being, neither will they help us advance
to a higher step in the Levels of the Being. . .
PSYCHOLOGICAL REBELLION

Chapter 3
PSYCHOLOGICAL REBELLION
t is good to remind our readers
that there is a mathematical
point within us. . .
Unquestionably, that point is
never found in the past or the
future...
Whoever wants to discover this
mysterious point must look for
it here and now, within himself,
at this very instant, not one
second sooner nor one second
later . . .
The two rods of the Holy Cross, the Vertical and the
Horizontal meet at this point. . .
So, from instant to instant, we find ourselves faced with
two Paths: the Horizontal and the Vertical.
Clearly the Horizontal is very "mundane." It is the path of
every "Tom, Dick and Harry" . . .
Obviously, the Vertical is different, as it is the path of
intelligent rebels and Revolutionaries. . .

When we remember ourselves, when we work on ourselves, when we do not identify with all the sorrows and
problems of life, we are in fact moving along the Vertical
Path...
Certainly, it will never be an easy task to eliminate
negative emotions or to stop any identification with our way
of life, with any kind of problems, business, debts, payments,
mortgages, electricity, water and telephone bilis, etc., etc., etc.
The unemployed, those who have lost their jobs for some
reason, obviously suffer from lack of money and as a result it
is extremely difficult for them to forget their problems and
not worry or identify with them.
Those who suffer, those who cry, those who are victims of
some type of treason, injustice, ingratitude, slander or fraud,
really forget themselves and their Innermost Being and
identify completely with their moral tragedies...
The Work on oneself is the fundamental characteristic of
the Vertical Path. No one can advance upon the Path of the
Great Rebellion if he does not work on himself. . .
This Work we are referring to is of a Psychological nature.
It concerns a certain transformation of the present moment in
which we find ourselves. We must learn how to Use from
moment to moment. . .

For example, any person who is desperate due to some
sentimental, economic or political problem has obviously
"forgotten himself ...
If only such a person could stop for an instant, observe the
situation, try to remember himself, and then make the effort to
understand the meaning of his attitude . . .
If only he could reflect a little and realize that everything
passes, that life is fleeting, that it is an illusion, and that death
reduces all the vanities of the world to ashes . . .
If he could understand that his problem is nothing more
than a sudden blaze of fire, a will-o'-the-wisp that will soon
die down, then he would suddenly see to his surprise that
everything has changed. . .
The transformation of mechanical reactions is possible
through logical confrontation and Inner Self-Reflection of the
Being . . .
It is clear that people react mechanically to life's various
circumstances . . .
Poor people! They always tend to see themselves as
victims. When flattered, they smile; when humiliated, they
suffer; they insult if they are insulted; they hurt others if they
are hurt. They are never free. Their fellowmen can drive them
from happiness to sadness, and from hope to despair.

All those who travel along the Horizontal Path are like
musical instruments on which every one of their peers can
play any tune they like . . .
Those who learn to transform mechanical relationships are
in fact taking the Vertical Path.
This represents a fundamental change in the Level of
Being, and it is the extraordinary result of the "Psychological
Rebellion."
Chapter 4
THE ESSENCE

he Essence is what makes all
newborn babies beautiful and
adorable. The Essence in itself
is a child's true reality ...
The normal growth of the Essence in any infant is certainly
minute and incipient. . .
The human body grows and
develops according to the
biological laws of the species.
How-ever, for the essence,
such possibilities are very limited . . .
Unquestionably, without any help, the Essence by itself
can only grow by an extremely small amount...
Speaking frankly and honestly, we can say that the
spontaneous and natural growth of the Essence is only
possible during the first three to five years of life; that is,
during the first stage of life . . .
People think that the Essence grows and develops
continuously according to the mechanics of evolution, but
Universal Gnosticism clearly teaches that it does not happen
this way . . .
Something very special must happen, something new must
be done so that the Essence can grow more . . .
THE ESSENCE

I am emphatically referring to the Work on oneself. The
development of the Essence is only possible through
conscious work and voluntary sufferings . . .
We need to understand that this Work does not refer to
professional matters such as banking, carpentry, masonry,
office work or laying railroad tracks . . .
This Work is for any person who has developed a personality; it is a Psychological Work.
We all know that within ourselves we have something
called the EGO, the I, the ME-MYSELF, the SELF...
Unfortunately, the Essence is completely embottled and
entrapped in the EGO; and this is deplorable.
The dissolution of the Psychological I, the disintegration
of all its undesirable elements is urgent, pressing and
undelayable ... This is the meaning of Working on Oneself.
We cannot possibly liberate the Essence without having
previously disintegrated the Psychological . . .
Within the .Essence lies Religion, BUDDHA, Wisdom, the
"particles-of-pain" of our Father in Heaven, and all the
information that we need for the INNER SELFREALIZATION OF THE BEING.

None of us can annihilate the Psychological / without
having previously eliminated the inhuman elements which we
carry within . . .
We must reduce the monstrous cruelty of these times to
ashes: envy that has unfortunately become the secret trigger
of action; unbearable covetousness that has made our life so
bitter; disgusting slander; defamation that starts so many
tragedies; drunkenness; filthy stinking lust, etc., etc., etc. ..
As these abominations are gradually reduced to cosmic
dust the Essence is not only freed, but it also grows and
develops harmoniously. . .
Unquestionably, when the Psychological / dies, the Essence shines within us . . .
The freed Essence gives us inner beauty, and that beauty
brings perfect happiness and true Love . . .
The Essence has multiple senses of perfection and extraordinary natural powers...
When we "die within ourselves," when we dissolve the
Psychological /, we can then enjoy the precious senses and
powers of the Essence. . .
Chapter 5
TO ACCUSE ONESELF

he Essence that each one of us has
within comes from above, from the
Heavens, from the stars...
Unquestionably, this wonderful
Essence comes from the musical
note LA (the Milky Way, the
Galaxy in which we live).
The precious Essence then passes
through the note SOL (the Sun),
and then through the note FA (the Planetary Zone), and then
enters this world and penetrates our own interior.
Our parents created the appropriate body to receive this
Essence that comes from the Stars . . .
By working intensely on ourselves and sacrificing ourselves for our fellowmen, we shall return triumphantly to the
deep bosom of Urania.
We are living in this world for something, for some reason,
for some special purpose . . .
There is obviously much that we must see, study and
understand within ourselves if we truly yearn to know
something about ourselves and our own lives . . .
Tragic is the existence of the one who dies without ever
having known the purpose of his life.

Each one of us must discover for himself the meaning of
his own life and that which keeps him imprisoned in the jail
of pain . . .
Obviously, in each one of us, there is something that
embitters our lives, something against which we must fight
with determination.
There is absolutely no need to continue living in adversity.
It is very urgent that we reduce to cosmic dust that which
makes us so weak and miserable.
It is pointless to be conceited about one's titles, honours,
diplomas, money, vain subjective rationalism, so-called
virtues, etc., etc., etc.
We should never forget that the hypocrisy and stupid
vanities of our false personality make us dull, unpleasant, oldfashioned, reactionary and close-minded . . .
Death has many meanings, both positive and negative. Let
us consider that wonderful observation of the Great KABIR
Jesus the Christ: "Let the dead bury their dead." Many people,
though alive, are in fact dead as far as any possible work on
themselves or any inner transformation is concerned.
These people are caught up in their dogmas and beliefs.
They are petrified by the memory of many yesterdays; they
are full of ancestral prejudices and slaves to "what will people
say." They are dreadfully lukewarm, indifferent and
sometimes "know-it-all" types who are convinced that they

know the truth because that is what they were told, etc., etc.,
etc.
These people do not want to understand that this world is a
"Psychological Gymnasium" through which it would be
possible to annihilate the secret ugliness that we all carry
within.
If these miserable people understood their pitiful state,
they would tremble in horror ...
Nevertheless, such people always think the best of themselves. They boast about their virtues and feel that they are
perfect, kind, obliging, noble, charitable, intelligent and
reliable in their duties, etc.
As a school, daily life is fantastic; however, it is clearly
absurd to take it as an end in itself.
Those who take life as an end in itself - the way it is lived
day after day - do not understand the necessity of working on
themselves to achieve a "Radical Transformation."
Unfortunately, people live mechanically. They have never
heard anyone talk about Interior Work . . .
Change is necessary; however, people do not know how to
change. They suffer immensely but do not even know why...
Having money is not everything. In fact, the lives of many
rich people tend to be truly tragic
LIFE
Chapter
6
LIFE
n the arena of everyday life, we always discover astonishing
contrasts. Wealthy people with magnificent homes and many
friends sometimes suffer terribly...

Humble workers with picks and
shovels or middleclass people
often live in complete happiness.
Many multimillionaires suffer
from sexual impotence and rich
matrons cry bitterly over their
husbands' infidelity . . .
The rich of this world look like
vultures
in
golden
cages.
Nowadays, they cannot live without bodyguards. . .
Statesmen drag along chains; they are never free.
Wherever they go, they are surrounded by bodyguards armed
to the teeth. . .
Let us study this situation more carefully. We need to
know what life is all about. Each one is entitled to his opinion. . .
Say what they will, certainly no one knows anything. Life
is a problem which no one understands...
When people start speaking freely about their lives, they
mention events, names, dates, etc., and they get a sense of
satisfaction in telling their stories . . .
These poor people are unaware that their stories are
incomplete, because events, names and dates are merely the
external aspects of their picture, while the internal aspects are
missing . . .

It is urgent that we become aware of "states of
consciousness. There is a particular state of the soul that
corresponds to each event...
States are interior and events are exterior. External
happenings are not everything . . .
By interior states we mean the following: good or bad
moods, worries, depression, superstition, fear, suspicion,
mercy, self-centeredness, overrating oneself; states of
happiness, states of joy, etc., etc.
Unquestionably, interior states can either correspond
exactly to exterior events, originate from them, or have nothing to do with them at all...
At any rate, states and events are different. Events do not
always exactly correspond to accompanying states.
The interior state of a pleasant event may not correspond
to the event itself.
The interior state of an unpleasant event may not correspond to the event either.
When long awaited events finally occur, we sense that
something is missing . . .
Surely, the corresponding interior state which should have
been combined with the external event was missing. . .

Often the unexpected event proves to be the one that
provides the most enjoyable moments . . .
THE INTERIOR STATE

Chapter 7
THE INTERIOR STATE
o know how to live intelligently, one must correctly combine

interior states with exterior events.

Any event lived intelligently calls
for its corresponding specific
interior state. . .
Unfortunately, when people review their lives, they think that
life itself is made up exclusively
of exterior events. . .
Poor people! They think that if
this or that event had not
happened, their lives would have turned out better . . .
They assume that it was just their luck and that they lost
their opportunity to be happy...
They lament what they have lost, they cry about what they
have neglected, and they moan over the memory of old
setbacks and misfortune...
People do not want to realize that vegetating is not living,
and that the capacity for consciously existing depends
exclusively on the quality of the interior states of the Soul.
Certainly, no matter how beautiful the external events of
life may be, if at such moments we are not in the appropriate
interior state, the best events may seem monotonous, tiresome
or just plain boring...

A wedding celebration is an event for which someone
anxiously awaits. However, it could be that, at the precise
moment of the event, the person is so worried that he really
cannot enjoy anything, and everything becomes as dry and
cold as any ceremonial protocol. . .
Experience has shown that not everyone at a party or a
banquet really enjoys himself. . .
At the best parties we always find a person who is bored.
The most delightful piece of music makes some people happy
and others cry...
Rare are those who know how to consciously match the
external event with the appropriate internal state...
It is unfortunate that people do not know how to live
consciously. They cry when they should laugh and laugh
when they should cry . . .
Control is different. The wise person may be happy but
never euphoric, sad but never depressed or dejected... serene
in the midst of violence, abstemious at an orgy, chaste among
the lustful, etc.
Melancholic and pessimistic people think the worst of life
and, frankly, they do not have the desire to live . . .
Every day we see people who are not only unhappy but
also - and what is worse - they make the lives of others miserable...

People like this will not change even if they go from party
to party every day because the psychological sickness is
within them . . . The inner states of such people are definitely
distorted...
However, those individuals see themselves as just, saintly,
virtuous, noble, obliging martyrs, etc., etc., etc. . . .
These people are too self-centered. They are very fond of
themselves...
They are individuals full of self-pity, always looking for an
excuse to avoid their own responsibilities . . .
Such people are accustomed to inferior emotions and, for
this reason, they obviously create infrahuman psychic elements every day.
Unfortunate events, loss of fortune, misery, problems,
debts, etc., are exclusively found among those who do not
know how to live . . .
Anyone can develop a rich intellectual culture, but very
few learn how to live correctly...
When we want to separate exterior events from interior
states of consciousness, we clearly demonstrate our inability
to live life with dignity.

Those who learn how to consciously match exterior events
with interior states walk along the path of success . . .
MISTAKEN STATES
Chapter 8
MISTAKEN STATES
nquestionably, when we are engaged in the rigorous
observation of the Me-Myself, we can neither delay, nor defer
making a complete and logical differentiation between the
exterior events of everyday life and the inner states of
consciousness.

We urgently need to know where
we stand at any given moment, in
relation to both our inner state of
consciousness and the specific
nature of the exterior event which
is happening to us.
Life in itself is a series of events
which are processed through time
and space ...
Someone once said: "Life is a chain of martyrdoms which
man carries entangled in his Soul" . . .
Everyone is completely free to think as they please. I
believe that short-lived pleasures are always followed by
disenchantment and bitterness . . .
Each event has its own special, characteristic flavour.
There are also various kinds of interior states. This is unquestionable and irrefutable ...
Certainly, the Interior Work on ourselves refers
emphatically to the various psychological states of
consciousness . . .
No one can deny that in our interior we bear the burden of
many errors and that there are mistaken states...

If we really want to change, it is crucial and urgent that we
radically transform those mistaken states of consciousness . . .
Total modification of the mistaken states produces complete transformations in our everyday life ...
When someone works seriously on the mistaken states,
then obviously the unpleasant incidents of life cannot hurt
him so easily anymore . . .
What we are saying here can only be understood by
actually living it, by personally experiencing it...
Whoever does not work on himself is always a victim of
circumstance. He is like a miserable piece of driftwood
floating in the stormy waters of the ocean . . .
Events change continuously with their multiple
combinations. They come in waves, one after another; they
influence us...
There are, of course, good and bad events. Some are better
and some are worse than others ..
Modifying certain events is possible. Changing results,
modifying situations, etc., is certainly within the realm of
possibility.
However, there are unavoidable situations which cannot
really be altered. These cases must be accepted consciously,
although some turn out to be dangerous and even painful.

Unquestionably, pain disappears when we do not identify
with the problem which has arisen . . .
We must consider life as a succession of consecutive interior states. The authentic history of our personal life is made
up of all those states. . .
When we review the entirety of our own existence, we can
directly verify for ourselves that many unpleasant situations
have taken place because of mistaken interior states . . .
Although Alexander the Great was even-tempered, his
pride led him to the excesses that caused his death . . .
History still remembers that Francis I died because of his
abominable and obscene adultery . . .
Marat, who was murdered by a perverse nun, died as a
result of his arrogance and envy. He believed himself to be
absolutely just. . .
Unquestionably, the ladies of the Pare des Cerfs
completely exhausted the vitality of the dreadful fornicator
Louis XV.
Psychologists know very well that many people die because of ambition, anger or jealousy . . .
When our will is irrevocably drawn towards absurd
tendencies, we become candidates for the cemetery...

Othello became a murderer because of his jealousy. Jails
are full of sincere but mistaken people..
Chapter 9
PERSONAL EVENTS
e cannot postpone full and inner
self-observation of the MeMyself when we are dealing with
the discovery of our mistaken
psychological states.
Unquestionably, the mistaken
interior states can be corrected
through appropriate procedures.
Since our interior life is the
magnet that attracts exterior
events, it is imperative and pressing that we eliminate the
erroneous psychological states from our psyche.
If we want to fundamentally alter the nature of certain
undesirable events, it is absolutely essential to correct the
mistaken psychological states.

It is possible to modify the way in which we relate to
specific events \ we eliminate certain absurd psychological
states from our interior.
Destructive exterior situations can turn into harmless and
even constructive ones through the intelligent correction of
the erroneous interior states.
PERSONAL EVENTS
We can change the nature of unpleasant events that happen

to us when we purify ourselves internally.

Those who never correct their absurd psychological states,
believing themselves to be very strong, become victims of
circumstance.
It is vital for anyone who wishes to change the course of
an unhappy life to bring order into their messy interior house.
People complain about everything. They suffer, they cry,
they protest, they want to change their lives and get out of the
mess that they are in, but unfortunately, they do not work on
themselves.
They do not want to realize that interior life attracts
exterior circumstances, and that if these are painful, it is due
to absurd interior states.
The exterior is only the reflection of the interior. Who-ever
changes internally brings about a new order of things.
Exterior events will never be as important as the way in
which we react to them.
Did you stay serene when someone insulted you? Did you
willingly endure the unpleasant behavior of your fellowmen?
How did you react when faced with the infidelity of your
loved one? Were you carried away by the poison of jealousy?
Did you kill? Are you in jail?

Hospitals, cemeteries, tombs and jails are full of sincere
but mistaken people who reacted foolishly to exterior events.
The best weapon that a person can use in life is a correct
Psychological state.
One can neutralize fury or unmask traitors through
appropriate interior states.
Mistaken interior states transform us into defenseless
victims of human perversity.
Learn to face up to the most unpleasant events of daily life
with the appropriate interior attitude .
Do not identify yourself with any event. Remember that
everything passes. Learn to see life as a movie and you will
reap its benefits . . .
Do not forget that futile events could bring you misfortune
if you do not eliminate the mistaken interior states from your
Psyche.
Unquestionably, each exterior event has to be handled
properly, that is, with its specific Psychological state.
Chapter 10
THE DIFFERENT I'S

he Rational Mammal mistakenly
called man does not really
possess a definite individuality.
Unquestionably, it is this lack of
Psychological unity in the
humanoid that is the cause of so
much bitterness and so many
difficulties.
The physical body is a complete
unit and it functions as an organic
whole; unless it is ill.
However, the interior life of the humanoid is certainly not
a psychological unity.
Worst of all is the absence of Psychological organization
within the inner depths of each person, despite what the
various schools of Pseudo-Occultism and Pseudo-Esoterism
may say.
THE DIFFERENT I's
Certainly, given such conditions, one cannot work in

complete harmony in one's interior life.
With regard to his interior state, the humanoid is a psychological multiplicity, a sum of "I's."

The learned ignoramuses of this dark era worship the "I."
They glorify it, put it on an altar, and call it "ALTER EGO,"
"HIGHER SELF," "DIVINE SELF," etc., etc., etc.
In this decadent era, "Know-it-alls" do not want to real-ize
that the Higher Self and the Lower Self are two parts of the
same pluralized Ego ...
The humanoid certainly does not have a "Permanent I," but
rather a multitude of absurd and infra-human "I's. "
The poor intellectual animal mistakenly called man is like
a messy house. Instead of one master, there are many servants
who always want to command and do whatever they want...
The greatest error found in cheap Pseudo-Esoterism and
Pseudo-Occultism is that their followers think they possess a
"Permanent and Unchangeable I" without a beginning or an
end ...
If those who think this way awakened their consciousness
for just one instant, they would clearly verify for themselves
that the rational humanoid never stays the same for long. . .
From the psychological point of view, the intellectual
mammal is continuously changing
To think that a person called John is always the same John
is really a joke in poor taste. ..

This person called John has within him other I'S, other egos
that express themselves at different moments through his
personality. Even if John is not a covetous individual, there is
another / within him, let us call him Joe, who is covetous, and
so on . . .
No one continually remains the same. You do not have to
be a genius to fully realize that there are countless changes
and contradictions within every individual. . .
To suppose that someone has a "Permanent and Unchangeable I" is to fool oneself and others ...
There are many people living within each one of us, many
I'S. Any conscious or awakened person can see this for
himself in a direct manner . . .
Chapter 11
THE BELOVED EGO

ince "superior" and "inferior" ore two parts of the same thing,
it is worth establishing the following corollary: the
"SUPERIOR I" and the "INFERIOR 1" are two aspects of the
same dark and pluralized EGO.

The so-called "DIVINE I,"
"SUPERIOR I," "ALTER EGO"
or anything of the kind is
certainly a trick of the "MEMYSELF," a form of SELFDECEPTION.
When the / wants to continue
here and beyond, it Deceives
itself with the false concept of a
Divine and Immortal I...
None of us has a true "I" that is permanent, unchangeable,
eternal, ineffable, etc., etc., etc.
None of us really has a true and authentic Unity of Being.
Unfortunately, we do not even have a legitimate individuality.
Even though the Ego continues beyond the grave, it has a
beginning and an end.
The Ego, the I, is never something individual, unitary,
whole. Obviously, the / is "I's."
In Oriental Tibet the I's are called "PSYCHIC
AGGREGATES" or simply "Values," be they positive or
negative.

If we think of each I as a different person, we can
emphatically state the following: "Within every person living
in this world, there are many people.
THE BELOVED EGO

Unquestionably, there are many different people living
within every single one of us. Some are better than others;
some are worse . . .
Each one of these I's, each one of these people fights for
supremacy and wants exclusivity. It controls the intellectual
brain or the emotional and motor centers whenever it can,
until another I takes over...

The Doctrine of the many I's was taught in Oriental Tibet
by the true Clairvoyants, by the authentic Enlightened
Beings . . .
Each one of our psychological defects is personified by a
particular I. Since we have thousands and even millions of
defects, obviously many people live in our interior.
From a psychological perspective, it has been clearly proven that the paranoid, the egotist and the mythomaniac would
never abandon the worship of the beloved Ego.
Unquestionably, such people bitterly scorn the Doctrine of
the many I's.
If we really want to know ourselves, we must self-observe
and try to get to know the different I's which lie within our
personality.
If any of our readers still does not understand the Doctrine
of the many I's, it is only due to the lack of practice of SelfObservation.
While practicing interior Self-Observation, we discover for
ourselves that many people, many I's, live within our own
personality.
Undoubtedly, those who deny the Doctrine of the many I's,
those who worship a Divine I have never seriously SelfObserved. Now, using the Socratic style, we can say that

these people not only do not know, but also do not know that
they do not know.
Certainly we can never get to know ourselves without
serious and profound self-observation.
As long as a person continues to consider himself to be
One, it is obvious that any interior change is more than
impossible.
Chapter 12
RADICAL CHANGE
s long as a person continues to
make the mistake of believing
himself to be One, Unique,
Individual, it is obvious that a
radical change is more than
impossible.
The very fact that Esoteric
Work begins with the rigorous
observation of oneself tells us
that it is urgent that we extract
and eradicate from our interior
a multitude of Psychological
factors, Is or undesirable elements.

Unquestionably, it is impossible to eliminate unknown
errors. First, we must observe what it is that we want to
remove from our Psyche.
This type of Work is not external but internal. Those who
think that any book on etiquette or any superficial external
system of ethics can bring them success are, in fact,
completely mistaken.
The concrete and definitive fact that the inner Work begins
with our attention focused on the complete observation of
ourselves is more than enough to demonstrate that such work
demands a very special personal effort to be made by each
one of us.
Speaking frankly and honestly, we can emphatically declare the following: no human being can do this work for us.
It is impossible to change anything in our Psyche without
the direct observation of this aggregate of subjective factors
that we carry within us.
RADICAL CHANGE
To take this multiplicity of errors for granted, to disregard
the need to study and observe them directly is, in fact, an
evasion, an excuse to flee from oneself, a form of selfdeception.
Only by making a rigorous effort to judiciously observe
ourselves, without any kind of excuse, can we really prove
the fact that we are not "One," but "Many."
To accept the plurality of the / and to prove it through
rigorous observation are two different things.

Anyone can accept the Doctrine of the many I's without
ever having proved it. Proving it, however, is only possible
through careful self-observation.
To avoid the Work of inner observation, to look for ways
of evading it is an unmistakable sign of degeneration.
As long as people maintain the illusion that they are
always one and the same person, they cannot change. Obviously, the aim of this Work is precisely to make a gradual
change within our interior life.
Radical transformation is a definite possibility that is
normally lost when one does not work on oneself.
The starting point of the radical change remains hidden as
long as people continue to think of themselves as One.
Those who reject the Doctrine of the many I's clearly show
that they have never seriously self-observed.
Strict observation of ourselves without any kind of excuse
allows us to see for ourselves the harsh reality that we are not
"One" but "Many."
In the world of subjective opinions there are diverse
pseudo-esoteric or pseudo-occultist theories that are used as
alleyways to run away from ourselves ...
Unquestionably, the illusion that we are always one and
the same person is an obstacle to self-observation . . .

Someone may say: "I know that I am not One, but Many.
Gnosis has taught me this." Such an affirmation, although
sincere, would obviously be something simply external and
superficial if that doctrinal thesis is not completely based
upon living experience.
To prove, to experience and to comprehend is fundamental. This is the only way we can work consciously to obtain a
radical change.
To affirm is one thing; to comprehend is another. Someone
may say: "I understand that I am not One but Many." If his
comprehension is genuine, and these are not merely useless
words of ambiguous chatter, then this indicates, this shows,
this proves the full verification of the Doctrine of the many
I's.
"Knowledge" and "Comprehension" are two different
things. The former is of the mind and the latter of the heart.
Mere knowledge of the Doctrine of the many I`s is useless.
Unfortunately, in these times in which we live, know I edge
has far surpassed comprehension. The poor intellectual
animal mistakenly called man has exclusively develop the
knowledge side and regrettably forgotten the side which is
related to the Being.
For any true radical change to occur, it is fundament that
we know the Doctrine of the many I's and that we a]
comprehend it.

When someone carefully begins to observe himself from
the perspective that he is not "One" but "Many," he has
obviously started the serious Work on his interior nature.
OBSERVER AND OBSERVED
Chapter 13
OBSERVER AND OBSERVED

t is very clear and easy to understand that when someone begins to
seriously observe himself from the
point of view that he is not One but
Many, he is really beg-inning to
work on what he carries within.
The following Psychological defects
are obstacles and impediments to
the work of Inner Self-Observation:
- Mythomania: delusions of grandeur, to believe one is
God.
- Egotism: the belief in a Permanent I, adoration of some
kind of Alter-Ego.
- Paranoia: self-sufficiency, conceit, being a know-it-all,
having mystical pride, believing oneself to be infallible and
not knowing how to see another's point of view.
As long as we maintain the absurd conviction that we are
One, that we have a permanent I, then serious Work upon
ourselves is more than impossible.
Whoever always thinks of himself as one will never be
able to separate himself from his own undesirable elements.
He will consider each thought, feeling, desire, emotion,

passion, affection, etc., etc., etc., to be different and
unalterable functionalisms of his own nature. He will even
justify himself to others by claiming that this or that personal
defect is hereditary...
Whoever accepts the Doctrine of the many I's understands, as a result of observation, that each desire, thought,
action, passion, etc., corresponds to a different and distinct I. .
.
Any athlete of inner Self-Observation works very seriously
within himself and strives to separate the various undesirable
elements that he carries within from his Psyche...
If someone truly and sincerely begins internal Self-Observation, he divides himself into two: Observer and Observed.
If such a division does not happen, then we will clearly
never take another step towards the marvelous Road of SelfKnowledge.
How could we possibly observe ourselves if we made the
mistake of not wanting to divide ourselves into Observer and
Observed?
If such a division does not take place, then we will obviously never take another step forward on the path of SelfKnowledge.

Undoubtedly, as long as this division does not occur, we
continue to identify with all the workings of the Pluralized
I. ..
Whoever identifies with the various workings of the
Pluralized I is always a victim of circumstance.
How could anyone who does not know himself modify
circumstances? How could he know himself without having
ever observed himself internally? How could he observe
himself if he did not first divide himself into Observer and
Observed?
Now then, nobody can begin to change radically as long as
he is not able to say: "This desire is an animal that I must
eliminate; this selfish thought is another I that torments me,
and I must disintegrate it; this feeling that is breaking my
heart is an intrusive I that I must reduce to cosmic dust; etc.,
etc., etc."
Naturally, this is impossible for someone who has never
divided himself into both Observer and Observed.
Whoever considers the Psychological processes to be
functionalisms of a Unique, Individual and Permanent I finds
himself so identified with all his mistakes, and be-comes such
a part of them that he loses all capacity to separate them from
his Psyche.
Obviously, such people can never radically change. They
are condemned to total failure.
NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
Chapter 14

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
n these decadent and involutionary
times, it is uncommon to think
profoundly and with full attention.
Diverse thoughts arise from the
Intellectual Center. They do not
come from a permanent I, as the
learned
ignoramuses
stupidly
believe, but from the different I'S in
each one of Us.
When a man is thinking, he
firmly believes that he is thinking by himself and for himself.
The poor intellectual mammal does not want to realize that
the many thoughts crossing his mind have their origin in the
different I'S that he carries within.
This means that we are not true thinking individuals; we
do not actually have an individual mind yet.
However, each of the different I'S that we carry within uses
our Intellectual Center. They use it to think any time they can.
So it would be absurd to identify ourselves with this or that
negative and harmful thought, believing that it is our own.
Obviously, such a negative thought is coming from an I
which at a certain moment has abused our Intellectual Center.

There are various types of negative thoughts: suspicion,
distrust, ill will towards others, passionate jealousy, religious
or political jealousy, jealousy of friends or family,
covetousness, lust, vengeance, anger, pride, envy, hate,
resentment, theft, adultery, laziness, gluttony, etc., etc., etc.
Actually, we have so many psychological defects that even
if we had a steel palate and a thousand tongues with which to
speak, we would not be able to enumerate them all.
Consequently, we can conclude from what has been previously said that it is senseless to identify with negative
thoughts.
Since it is impossible for an effect to exist without a cause,
we solemnly declare that a thought can never originate by
itself, spontaneously . . .
The relationship between thinker and thought is evident;
each negative thought has its origin in a different thinker.
Within each one of us there are as many negative thinkers
as there are negative thoughts.
Seen from this pluralized angle, the issue of "Thinkers and
Thoughts" shows that each one of the I's carried in our Psyche
is certainly a different thinker.
Unquestionably, there are too many thinkers in each one of
us. However, at any given moment, each one of these I's, in

spite of being just a fragment, believes itself to be the
whole ...
Mythomaniacs, egotists, narcissists and paranoids will
never accept the thesis of the "Plurality of Thinkers" be-cause
they are so fond of themselves. They think that they are "big
shots," the "be-all and end-all" ...
How could such abnormal people possibly accept the idea
that they do not possess an extraordinary, brilliant and
individual mind? . . .
Nevertheless, these Know-it-alls think the best of themselves; they even dress in the tunic of Aristippus to
demonstrate their wisdom and humility . . .
Legend has it that, centuries ago, Aristippus wanted to
demonstrate his wisdom and humility. He was seen dressed in
an old robe full of holes and patches, carrying a Philosopher's
Wand in his right hand and strolling around Athens...
It is said that when Socrates saw him coming, he
exclaimed in a resounding voice: "Oh Aristippus, your vanity
can be seen through the holes in your robe"!
Anyone who does not live constantly in a state of
Alertness-to-the-New and Alert-Perception, and who believes
that he is just thinking, easily identifies with any negative
thoughts.

As a result, the sinister power of the "Negative I," the
author of the corresponding thought, regrettably strengthens.
The more we identify with a negative thought, the more
enslaved we become to the corresponding / which
characterizes it.
With regards to Gnosis, the Secret Path, the Work on
oneself, our particular temptations are found precisely in the
I's which hate Gnosis, the esoteric Work, because they know
that their existence in our psyche is mortally threatened by
Gnosis and by the Work.
These quarrelsome and "Negative I's" easily take control
of certain mental scrolls stored in our Intellectual Center and
give rise to harmful and damaging mental streams of thought.
If we accept those thoughts, those "Negative I's" that
control our Intellectual Center at any given moment, we will
then be unable to free ourselves from their outcome.
We should never forget that every "Negative I" "Deceives
Itself and "Deceives Others." Conclusion: it lies.
Whenever the aspirant feels a sudden loss of strength,
when he is disillusioned with Gnosis, with the esoteric.
Work, when he loses enthusiasm and forsakes the best, it
is obvious that he has been deceived by some Negative I.

The "Negative I of Jealousy" deceives those in love and
destroys their happiness.
The "Negative I of Mystic Pride" deceives the devotees of
the Path. Believing themselves to be wise, they hate or betray
their Master . . .
The Negative I appeals to our personal experiences, to our
memories of the past, to our greatest yearnings, to our
sincerity; and by making a rigorous selection from all this, it
presents something in a false light, something that fascinates;
and then we fail...
However, when we discover the I in action, when we have
learned to live in a state of alertness, such deception becomes
impossible. ..
INDIVIDUALITY
Chapter 15
INDIVIDUALITY
o believe that we are "One" is
certainly a joke in very poor taste.
Unfortunately, this vain illusion
exists in all of us.
Unfortunately, we always think the
best of ourselves and it never
occurs to us to try and understand
that we do not even have a true
Individuality.
The worst is that we give ourselves the false luxury of
assuming that each one of us has his own will and enjoys full
consciousness.
Poor us! How foolish we are! There is no doubt that
ignorance is the worst of all misfortunes.
There are thousands of different Individuals within each
one of us, different I's or people who quarrel and fight for
supremacy without any order or harmony.
If we were conscious, if we woke up from our many
dreams and fantasies, how different our lives would be! . . .
To make matters worse, negative emotions, selfimportance and pride fascinate and hypnotize us, never

allowing us to remember ourselves or to see ourselves as we
are . . .
We believe that we only have one will when, in reality, we
possess many different wills (each I has its own).
The tragicomedy of all this Inner Multiplicity is
frightening. The different interior wills clash among
themselves, live in continuous conflict and go in different
directions.
If we had true Individuality, if we had Unity instead of
Multiplicity, then we would also have continuity of purpose,
awakened consciousness and a personal individual will.
Change is indicated. However, we must start by being
honest with ourselves.
We need to make a psychological inventory of ourselves to
find out what we have too little of and what we have too
much of.
To obtain Individuality is possible; however, if we think
that we have it, then such a possibility will vanish.
Obviously, we will never fight to obtain something if we
think we already have it. Fantasy makes us believe that we
possess Individuality. There are even schools in the world that
teach this.

It is urgent that we fight against fantasy, because it makes
us appear as if we are "somebody" when, in reality, we are
miserable, perverse and shameless people.
We think that we are "men" when, in truth, we are just
intellectual mammals devoid of Individuality.
Mythomaniacs believe themselves to be Gods, Mahatmas,
etc., never suspecting that they do not have an individual
mind and a Conscious Will.
Egotists so adore their beloved Ego that they would never
accept the idea of the Multiplicity of Egos within themselves.
Paranoids, with all the classic pride which characterizes
them, will not even read this book ...
It is absolutely necessary to fight to the death the fantasy
we have about ourselves if we do not want to become victims
of artificial emotions and false experiences. They not only put
us in ridiculous situations, but they also hinder any possibility
of inner development.
The intellectual animal is so hypnotized by his own
fantasy that he dreams that he is a lion or an eagle when, in
reality, he is no more than a vile worm from the mud of the
earth.
The mythomaniac will never accept the statements made
above. Say what they will, he obviously thinks that he is an

arch-hierophant, never suspecting that fantasy is simply
nothing, nothing but fantasy.
Fantasy is a real force that acts universally on humanity
and keeps the intellectual humanoid in a dream state, making
him believe that he is already a man with true Individuality,
will, awakened consciousness, a mind of his own, etc., etc.,
etc...
When we think that we are One, we cannot move from
where we are within ourselves; we remain stagnant until we
ultimately degenerate and go through involution.
Each one of us is in a certain psychological phase and
unless we discover immediately all those persons or I's that
live within us, we will never emerge from it.
Of course, through inner self-observation, we can see the
people who live in our psyche and whom we must eliminate
in order to achieve radical transformation.
This perception, this self-observation fundamentally
changes all the misconceptions that we have about ourselves,
and as a result, we prove the specific fact that we do not
possess true Individuality.
As long as we are not self-observing, we will live under
the impression that we are one; and, consequently, our lives
will be false.

As long as there is no interior change in the depths of our
psyche, a correct relationship with our fellowmen will be
impossible.
Any inner change demands the prior elimination of the I's
that we carry within.
There is no way that we can ever eliminate those I's if we
do not observe them in our interior.
Those who believe that they are One, who think highly of
themselves and who would never accept the Doctrine of the
Many, do not want to observe the I'S either; and thus any
possibility for change within them becomes impossible.
It is impossible to change if there is no elimination. But
even if those who believe they possess Individuality were to
accept the need for elimination, they would really be unaware of what must be eliminated.
However, we should not forget that whoever believes
himself to be one is deceiving himself by thinking that he
knows what has to be eliminated. In reality, he does not even
know that he does not know. He is a learned ignoramus.
We must "rid ourselves" of our Ego in order to
"individualize ourselves." However, if someone thinks that he
has Individuality, then it is impossible for him to get rid of his
Ego.

Individuality is one hundred percent sacred. It is rare to
find people who have it; however, all think they do.
How can we eliminate the I'S if we believe that we have a
Single "I"?
Certainly, only someone who has never seriously SelfObserved thinks that he has a Single I.
However, we must be very clear in these teachings, since
there is a psychological danger of confusing authentic
Individuality with the concept of some kind of "Superior I" or
something similar.
Sacred Individuality is far beyond any form of "I." It is
what it is, what it always was, and what it always will be.
Legitimate Individuality is the Being, and the reason for
the existence of the Being is the Being itself.
Distinguish between the Being and the I. Those who
confuse the I with the Being have certainly never self-observed seriously.
As long as the Essence, the consciousness, continues to be
embottled within that collection of I's that we carry within,
radical change will be more than impossible.
THE BOOK
OF LIFE
Chapter 16
THE BOOK OF LIFE

person is what his life is. What
continues beyond death is life. This
is the meaning of the book of life
which opens with death.
.
Seen from a strictly psychological
point of view, any day of our life is
really a small replica of our life as
a whole.
From all this we can deduce the
following: if a man does not work
on himself today, he will never change.
When he affirms that he wants to work on himself, but does
not do the work today, postponing it until tomorrow, then
such an affirmation is just a plan and nothing more; this is
because today is a replica of our entire life.

There is a common expression that says: "Do not put off until
tomorrow what you can do today."
If a man says: "I shall work on myself tomorrow," then he
will never work on himself because there will always be a
"tomorrow."
This is very similar to a certain notice or warning that
shopkeepers put in their stores: "NO CREDIT TODAY,
ONLY TOMORROW"!
When someone in need comes to ask for credit, he comes
across the terrible notice; and when he comes the next day, he
finds it there again.
In psychology, this is called "the tomorrow syndrome." As
long as a man says "tomorrow," he will never change.
It is imperative and pressing that we work on ourselves today,
without lazily dreaming about the future or some
extraordinary opportunity.
Those who say: "First I will do this or that, and then I shall
work," will never work on themselves. They are the "dwellers
of the earth" mentioned in the Holy Scriptures.
I knew a powerful landowner who used to say: "First I need
to be well-off and then I shall work on the Me-Myself."

I visited him when he fell deathly ill and asked him the
following question: "Do you still want to be well-off'?
"I truly regret having wasted my time," he answered. He died
a few days later, after having admitted his mistake.
That man had a lot of land, but he wanted to own neigh bouring property, to "round off," so that his large farm would
be bordered exactly by four roads.
"Each day has enough trouble of its own I said the Great
KABIR Jesus. Let us self-observe this very day - everything
having to do with the ever recurring day - as a miniature of
our whole life.
When a man starts to work on himself today, when he
observes his sorrows and sufferings, he walks straight along
the path of success.
We cannot eliminate what we do not know. We must first
observe our own errors.
Not only do we need to know about our day, but also about
how we relate to it. Everyone experiences the exact same
ordinary days; rare or unusual events are an exception.
It is interesting for each person to observe the daily
recurrence, the repetition of words and events, etc.
This repetition or recurrence of events and words is worth
studying. It leads us to Self-knowledge.
MECHANICAL CREATURES
Chapter 17
MECHANICAL CREATURES
e cannot possibly deny the Law of
Recurrence which is in action at
every moment of our lives.
Certainly, every day of our
existence consists of a repetition of
events, states of consciousness,
words, desires, thoughts, decisions,
etc.
Obviously, when we do not selfobserve, we cannot notice these incessant daily repetitions.
It is evident that someone who has no interest whatsoever
in observing himself will have no desire to work to-wards a
true radical transformation either.
To make matters worse, there are people who want to
transform themselves without working on themselves.
We do not deny the fact that everybody has the right to
genuine happiness of the spirit; however, it is also true that
obtaining this happiness is more than impossible unless we
work on ourselves.
We can change internally when we truly succeed in modifying our reactions to the different events that occur every
day.

However, we cannot modify our way of reacting to the
events of daily life if we do not work seriously on ourselves.
We need to change our way of thinking, to be less negligent, to become more responsible and to approach life in a
different way, in its real and practical sense.
However, if we continue the way we are, behaving the
same way every day, repeating the same mistakes with the
same negligence as always, then any possibility of change
will, in fact, be eliminated.
If somebody genuinely wants to get to know himself, he
must start by observing his own behaviour while facing the
events of any day of his life.
By this we do not mean that we should not observe ourselves daily. We just want to affirm that we must start by
observing ourselves on one first day.
There must be a start to everything; and observing our
behaviour on any one day of our life is a good start.
Certainly, the best thing to do is to observe our mechanical
reactions to all the minor details of our home, bedroom,
dining room, house, street, work, etc., etc., etc., and also what
we say, feel and think.
Next, it is important to see how and in which way we can
change these reactions. However, if we think that we are good

people and that we never behave unconsciously and
incorrectly, then we will never change.
First of all, we need to understand that we are "machinepeople," simple puppets controlled by secret agents, by hidden I's.
There are many people living within us. We are never the
same. Sometimes a mean person manifests in us; at other
times, an irritable person; at another moment, a beautiful and
benevolent person; later, a scandalous and slanderous person;
after that, a saint, and then a liar, etc.
We have all kinds of people inside us, all kinds of I's. Our
personality is nothing more than a puppet or a talking doll,
something mechanical.
Let us start by behaving consciously during a small period
of the day. We need to stop being simple machines, if only for
a few minutes a day. This will have a decisive effect on our
existence.
Of course, when we Self-Observe and stop doing what this
or that I wants, we begin to stop being machines.
If for just a single moment we were to be conscious
enough to stop being a machine, and if we were to do this
voluntary, then many unpleasant circumstances would be
radically modified
Unfortunately, we live a mechanical, routine and absurd
dally life. We repeat the same things and our habits do not

change. We have never wanted to modify them. They are the
mechanical tracks on which the train of our miserable
existence travels. Yet, we still think highly of ourselves . . .
There are "MYTHOMANIACS" wherever you look; people who believe they are Gods; mechanical, routine creatures,
personas from the mud of the earth, miserable dolls moved by
different I'S. Such people will never work on themselves . . .
Chapter 18
THE SUPER-SUBSTANTIAL BREAD

f we carefully observe any day
of our lives, we see that we certainly do not know how to live
consciously.
Our life looks like a train in
motion, travelling on the rigid
rails of mechanical and inflexible
habits of a vain and superficial
existence.
The strange thing is that it never
occurs to us to change our habits. It seems that we never get
tired of repeating the same things.
These habits keep us paralysed, but we think that we are
free. We are hideously ugly, but we believe ourselves to be
apollos...
We are mechanical people, which is reason enough for us
not to have any true sense of what we are doing in life.
We move daily on the old tracks of our obsolete and absurd habits. Thus it is obvious that we do not have a real life.
Instead of living, we vegetate miserably and we do not
receive new impressions.
If a person started his day consciously, it would obviously
be different from the others.

When we take each day as the sum total of our life, and
stop postponing until tomorrow what must be done today, we really
get to know what working on ourselves means.
Every single day is important. If we truly want to radically
transform ourselves, we must see, observe and understand ourselves
daily.
THE SUPER-SUBSTANTIAL BREAD

However, people do not want to see themselves. Some,
who feel like working on themselves, justify their negligence
with statements such as "Work at the office does not allow me
to work on myself." Senseless, hollow, vain and absurd words
such as these are only excuses to justify laziness, indolence
and a lack of love for the Great Cause.
Though they may have many spiritual yearnings, such
persons will obviously never change.
To observe ourselves is urgent, pressing and undelayable.
Inner Self-Observation is essential in order to effect any real
change.
What is your psychological state when you get up in the
morning? What is your state of mind during breakfast? Were
you impatient with the waiter? . . . with your spouse? Why
were you impatient? What is it that is always upset-ting you?
etc.
Smoking or eating less is not a total change, although it
does show some progress. We know very well that the vices
of smoking and gluttony are inhuman and vile.
It is not good for anyone dedicated to the Secret Path to
have an excessively fat body with a potbelly far from any
eurhythmic perfection. That would indicate gluttony,
voraciousness and even laziness.
Our daily life, our career and our job, although vital for
existence, constitute the dream state of our consciousness.

Knowing that life is a dream does not mean we comprehend it. Comprehension comes with self-observation and
intense Work on ourselves.
In order to work on ourselves it is essential that we work
on our everyday life, starting today. Then the meaning of the
Lords's Prayer will be understood when it says: "Give us this
day our daily Bread."
In Greek, the expression "Daily Bread" means the "Supersubstantial Bread" or the "Bread from Above."
Gnosis offers this Bread of Life, with the double meaning
of ideas and strength which allow us to disintegrate
psychological errors.
Each time that we reduce and I to cosmic dust, we gain
psychological experience; we eat the Bread of Wisdom and
we receive new knowledge.
Gnosis offers us the "Super-substantial Bread," the "Bread
of Wisdom," and shows us with precision the new life that
begins in us, here and now.
Well then, nobody can alter his life or change anything
related to the mechanical reactions of existence, unless he
counts upon the help of new ideas and receives Divine
assistance.

Gnosis gives us these new ideas and teaches us the "modus
operandi" through which we can be helped by Powers which
are Superior to the mind.
We need to prepare the inferior centers of our organism to
receive the new ideas and strength that come from the
Superior Centers.
In the Work on oneself, everything is worth appreciating.
Any thought, as insignificant as it may be, merits observation.
Any negative emotion, reaction, etc., must be observed.
Chapter

THE GOOD PROVIDER
THE
GOOD
PROVIDER

n these dark times, it is certainly
very difficult to separate ourselves
from the disastrous effects of life;
however it is absolutely necessary,
otherwise we would be devoured
by life.
Any Work that we do on ourselves
with the purpose of achieving
spiritual development and the
development of the soul is, of
course, always related to isolation.
Under the influence of life as we normally live it, it is not
possible to develop any-thing other than the personality.
We are in no way opposing, the development of the personality. Obviously, it is necessary in our existence, but it is
certainly something purely artificial. The personality is not
that which is true, that which is real within us.
If the poor intellectual mammal mistakenly called man
does not isolate himself, but instead identifies with all the
happenings of daily life, and if he wastes his energy on negative emotions, personal self-centeredness, vain and
unsubstantial words of ambiguous chatter, then he does
nothing edifying; nothing real can develop within him apart
from that which belongs to the mechanical world.
Certainly, anyone who wants to achieve the development
of the essence within himself must become "hermetically

sealed." This refers to something intimate and closely related
to silence.
This expression comes from ancient times, when a Doctrine - linked to the name Hermes - was secretly taught about
the interior development of man.
If we want something real to grow within, it is clear that
we must avoid draining our psychic energies.
When someone loses his energies and is not isolated within
himself, unquestionably he will not be able to achieve the
development of anything real in his psyche.
Common daily life wants to relentlessly swallow us up. We
must wrestle with life every day and learn how to swim
against the current...
This Work goes against life and deals with something very
different from that of daily life. However, it is something that
we should practice from instant to instant. I am referring to
the revolution of consciousness.
It is evident that if our attitude towards daily life is
fundamentally wrong, and if we believe that everything will
turn out well because it should, then we are going to be
disappointed...
People want things to turn out well, "just like that,"
because everything must work according to their plans. But
the harsh reality is different. As long as a person does not

change within, he will always be a victim of circumstance,
whether he likes it or not.
There are many sentimental stupidities spoken and writ-ten
about life. However, this Treatise of Revolutionary
Psychologyis something different.
This doctrine goes straight to the core and to the clear,
definite and specific facts. It declares emphatically that the
"Intellectual Animal" mistakenly called man is a mechanical
biped, unconscious and asleep.
" The Good Provider" will never accept Revolutionary
Psychology. He thinks highly of himself because he fulfils his
obligations as a father, a husband, etc. In reality he is only
serving nature's objectives and nothing more.
On the other hand, we should say that there is also "The
Good Provider" who swims against the current and does not
want to let life swallow him up. But such individuals are very
rare in the world; there are not very many of them.
When one thinks according to the ideas of this Treatise of
Revolutionary Psychology, one obtains a correct vision of
life.
THE TWO WORLDS
Chapter 20
THE TWO WORLDS

o observe and "to observe oneself
are two completely different
things. However, both demand
attention.
During "observation," attention is
directed outward to the exterior
world through the windows of the
senses.
During "self-observation," attention is directed inward and for this reason the senses of
external perception are useless. This is more than enough
reason why it is difficult for the novice to observe his inner
psychological processes.
The practical side of official science always uses the observable as its starting point. The starting point of the Work
on oneself is self-observation or what is self-observable.
Unquestionably, those two starting points mentioned above
lead us in two completely different directions.
One could grow old while confined to the uncompromising
dogmas of official science, studying external phenomena,
observing cells, atoms, molecules, suns, stars and comets,
etc., without ever experiencing any radical change within.
The type of knowledge which changes someone internally
can never be attained through external observation.

The true knowledge which can really give rise to a fundamental, interior change is based on the direct self-observation
of ourselves.
It is urgent that we tell our Gnostic students to observe
themselves and teach them the way in which they must selfobserve, as well as the reasons for it.
Observation is a means to modify the mechanical
conditions of the world. Interior self-observation is a means
to inner change.
As a consequence or corollary to this, we can and we must
emphatically declare that there are two types of knowledge:
the external and the internal. Unless we internally possess the
magnetic center which can differentiate between the two
types of knowledge, the mixture of both categories can lead
us to confusion.
The sublime pseudo-esoteric Doctrines that have a strong
scientific basis belong to the field of the observable.
However, they are accepted by many aspirants as internal
knowledge.
Hence we stand before two worlds: the exterior and the
interior. The first one is perceived by the senses of external
perception. The second one can only be perceived by the
Sense of internal self-observation.

Thoughts, ideas, feelings, desires, hopes, disappointments,
etc., are interior. They are invisible to the conventional,
common and ordinary senses. However, they are more real to
us than the dining room table or living room chairs.
Certainly, we live more in our interior world than in our
exterior one; this is undeniable and irrefutable.
In our Internal Worlds, in our secret world, we love, desire,
suspect, bless, curse, strive, suffer, enjoy, get frustrated,
rewarded, etc., etc., etc.
Unquestionably, the internal and external worlds can be
verified experimentally. The exterior world is the observable.
The interior world is that which is self-observable inside
ourselves and within ourselves, here and now.
Whoever really wants to know the Internal Worlds of the
planet Earth, the Solar System or the Galaxy in which we live
must first know his inner world, his interior and personal life,
his own Internal Worlds. "Man, know yourself, and you shall
know the Universe and the Gods."
The more we explore this Interior World called "Oneself,"
the more we will understand that we live simultaneously in
two worlds, in two realities, in two spheres: the exterior and
the interior.
Just as it is essential for us to learn how to walk in the
"exterior world" so as not to fall off a cliff or lose our way in
the streets of the city, to choose friends, to avoid perverse

people, not to eat poison, etc., so also can we learn through
Psychological Work to walk in our own Interior World, which
can be explored by means of self-observation.
In reality, the Sense of self-observation is atrophied in the
decadent human race of this dark era.
As we persevere in the observation of ourselves, the Sense
of inner self-observation will gradually develop.
OBSERVATION OF ONESELF
Chapter 21
OBSERVATION OF ONESELF
nner Self-Observation is a practical means to achieve a
radical transformation.

"To know" and "to observe" are
two different things. Many people
confuse observation of oneself
with "knowledge." We now that
we are sitting on a chair in a room,
but that does not mean that we are
observing the chair.
We know that at any point in
time we can find ourselves in a
negative state, maybe with a problem, troubled about
something, or in a state of uneasiness or uncertainty, etc.
Nevertheless, this does not mean that we are observing.
Do you dislike someone? Is there someone whom you
cannot stand? Why? You might say that you know that person
... Please, observe him! "To know" never means "to observe."
Do not confuse "knowing" with "observing" ...
Observation, which is one hundred percent active, is a
means of changing oneself, whereas knowing, which is passive, is not.
"To know" is surely not an act of attention. Attention
directed within oneself, towards what is happening in our
interior, is something positive and active . . .
Whenever we dislike a person "just because," often for no
reason at all and because we just feel like it, we become
aware of the multitude of thoughts which accumulate in our

minds; the disorderly group of voices that speak and shout
within us; what they are saying; the unpleasant emotions that
arise in our interior; the unpleasant feelings that they leave in
our psyche, etc., etc., etc.
Obviously, in such a state we also realize that, internally,
we are treating the person that we dislike very badly.
Furthermore, in order to see all this we unquestionably
need to deliberately direct our attention towards our interior;
an attention that is active and not passive.
Dynamic attention comes from the observing side while
thoughts and emotions belong to the observed side.
All this leads us to understand that "to know" is something
totally passive and mechanical, in clear contrast with the
observation of oneself, which is a conscious act.
We do not mean that mechanical observation does not
exist, but that type of observation has nothing to do with the
psychological self-observation to which we are referring.
"To think" and "to observe" are also very different. Any
person may give himself the luxury of thinking all he wants
about himself, but this does not mean that he is truly observing himself.
We need to see the various I'S in action, to discover them in
our psyche, to comprehend that there is a percentage of our

own consciousness in each one of them, to repent for having
created them, etc.
Then we will exclaim: "What is this I doing? What is it
saying? What does it want? Why is it bothering me with its
lust? . . . with its anger"? etc., etc., etc.
We will then see within ourselves this sequence of
thoughts, emotions, desires, passions, private comedies,
personal dramas, elaborate lies, speeches, excuses,
morbidness, beds of pleasure, scenes of lewdness, etc., etc.,
etc.
Very often, before falling asleep, at the precise moment of
transition between wakefulness and sleep, we can hear
different voices which are talking to each other within our
mind. These are the different I'S which at such a time have to
break all connection with the different centers of our organic
machine in order to submerge themselves later within the
molecular world, the "Fifth Dimension."
THE CHATTER
Chapter 22
THE CHATTER

t is urgent, pressing and
unpostponable that we observe our
interior chatter and the exact place
from where it comes.
This mistaken interior chatter is
unquestionably
the
"Causa
Causorum" of many disharmonious
and unpleasant psychic states in the
present as well as in the future.
Obviously, those vain, unsubstantial words of ambiguous
chatter, and in general, any harmful, damaging and absurd
talk that is manifested in the exterior world, have their origin
in misleading interior conversations.
We know that in Gnosis there is an esoteric practice of
interior silence. Our disciples of the "Third Chamber" know
this.
It would not be an overstatement to say with absolute
clarity that interior silence must refer specifically to something very precise and definite.
When the process of thinking is intentionally exhausted
during profound interior meditation, interior silence Is
achieved. However, this is not what we want to explain in this
chapter.

Nor do we intend to explain in these paragraphs how to
achieve interior silence by "emptying the mind" or "blanking
it out."
Nor does the practice of interior silence to which we are
referring mean that we should stop something from
penetrating the mind.
Actually, we are now speaking about a very different kind
of interior silence, not something that is vague and general ...
We want to practice the interior silence that is related to
something already existing in the mind, such as a person, an
event, a personal matter, someone else's business, things we
have been told, what others have done, etc., without touching
anything with the interior tongue, without inner speeches.. .
Learning to be quiet - not only with the exterior tongue,
but also with the internal secret tongue- will give
extraordinary and wonderful results.
Many people are quiet on the outside, but they skin their
fellowmen alive with their interior tongue. Poisoned and
malicious interior chatter produces interior confusion.
If we observe this mistaken interior chatter, we will see
that it is made up of half-truths, or some truths more or less
incorrectly related, or with something that was added or
omitted.

Unfortunately, our emotional life is based exclusively on
"self-liking."
To make matters worse, we only like ourselves, our "beloved Ego," and we dislike and even hate those who do not
take to us.
We love ourselves too much. We are one hundred percent
narcissistic. This is irrefutable and undeniable.
As long as we continue to be embottled in "self-liking,"
any development of the being is more than impossible.
We need to learn how to see the other's point of view. We
must know how to put ourselves in the other person's place.
"In everything do unto others as you would have them do
unto you." [Matt. 7:12].
What really counts in these studies is the way in which
people behave towards one another internally and invisibly.
Unfortunately, although we are very courteous and
sometimes even sincere, there is no doubt that invisibly and
internally we are treating one another very badly.
People who seem to be very kind drag their fellowmen into
their secret caves every day in order to do what they fancy
with them (torment, mock, ridicule, etc.).
THE WORLD OF RELATIONSHIPS
Chapter
23
THE TWO WORLDS
THE
WORLD OF RELATIONSHIPS

he world of relationships has three
very different aspects which we
need to precisely clarify.
First: we are related to the
planetary body, that is, the physical
body.
Second: we live on the planet Earth
and, consequently, we are related
to the exterior world and the things
that affect us: family, business, money, career, politics, etc.,
etc., etc.
Third: the relationship of man with himself. For the majority
of people this type of relationship is not important in the least.
Unfortunately, people are only interested in the first two types
of relationships. They look at the third type with absolute
indifference.
Food, health, money and business are actually the main
concerns of the "Intellectual Animal" mistakenly called
"man."
Well, it is obvious that both the physical body and the matters
of the world are exterior to ourselves.
The Planetary Body (physical body) is sometimes sick,
sometimes healthy, and so on.

We always believe that we have some knowledge about the
physical body but, in reality, not even the best scientists in the
world know much about the body of flesh and bones.
Without a doubt, due to its tremendous and complex
organization, the physical body is certainly far beyond our
comprehension.
As far as the second type of relationship is concerned, we are
always victims of circumstance. It is unfortunate that we have
not yet learned how to consciously create circumstances.
Many people are unable to adapt to anything or anybody, or
to be truly successful in life.
When we think about ourselves with the Gnostic Esoteric
Work in mind, it becomes urgent to find out in which one of
these three types of relationships we are failing.
Our particular case may be that we relate poorly to our
physical bodies and, consequently, we are ill.
It could be that we relate badly to the exterior world and, as a
result, we have conflicts, social and economic problems, etc.,
etc., etc.
Maybe we relate badly to ourselves and, consequently, we
suffer greatly from a lack of interior enlightenment.
Obviously, if the table lamp in our bedroom is not connected
to the electric socket, our room will remain in darkness.

Those who suffer from a lack of interior enlightenment
should connect their mind to the Superior Centers of their
Being.
Unquestionably, we must establish correct relationships, not
only with our Planetary Body (physical body) and the exterior
world, but also with each one of the parts of our own Being.
Pessimistic sick people, who are tired of so many doctors and
medications, no longer care to be cured. Optimistic patients
struggle to live.
Many millionaires who have lost their fortune gambling in the
Casino of Monte Cario have committed suicide. Mil-lions of
poor mothers work in order to support their children.
Countless depressed aspiring students have given up the
Esoteric Work on themselves because of a lack of psychic
powers and inner enlightenment. Very few know how to take
advantage of adversity.
At times of very severe temptation, depression and desolation, we must appeal to the inner remembrance of ourselves.
Deep inside each one of us lies the Aztec TONANTZIN, the
STELLA MARIS, the Egyptian ISIS, the Mother-God,
waiting to heal our broken hearts.

When one gives oneself the shock of "Self-Remembrance," a
miraculous change in every function of the body is produced,
and the cells receive different nourishment.
Chapter 24
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SONG

he time has come to reflect very
seriously on that which is called
"internal self-centeredness."
There is no doubt about the
disastrous effects of "inner selfcenteredness." Besides hypnotizing
the consciousness, it drains large
amounts of energy from us.
If we did not make the mistake of
identifying with ourselves so much, interior self-centeredness
would be more than impossible.
The person who identifies with himself is too fond of
himself. He feels sorry for himself and is self-centered. He
thinks that he has always behaved properly with other people,
with his wife, with his children, etc., and that nobody has

appreciated him. Thus he is a saint and all others are wicked
scoundrels.
One of the most common forms of inner self-centeredness
is the preoccupation with what others might think of us.
Maybe they believe that we are not honest, sincere,
truthful, brave, etc.
The strangest thing is that we are pathetically unaware of
the tremendous loss of energy that this type of concern brings
us.
Many hostile attitudes towards certain people who have
not done us any harm are precisely due to such worries born
of inner self-centeredness.
Under these circumstances, loving ourselves so much and
being so self-centered, it is obvious that the I - or better said
the I's - instead of being eliminated, are tremendously
strengthened.
When we identify with ourselves, we feel very sorry for
ourselves, to the point of keeping count of our misfortunes.
That is why we think that in spite of all our so-called acts
of generosity with a buddy, neighbour, boss, friend, etc., etc.,
etc., we have not been repaid as we should. Wrapped up in
these ideas, we become boring and obnoxious to all.

It is practically impossible to have a conversation with
such people, as we can be sure that the conversation will lead
us to their little book of accounts and their long list of
sufferings.
In the Gnostic Esoteric Work, it is written that growth of
the soul is only possible through the forgiveness of others.
If, from instant to instant, moment to moment, someone
suffers for what people owe him, for what they did to him and
the bitterness that they have caused him, always repeating his
same song, then he will never be able to grow internally.
The Lord's Prayer says: "Forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors."
The feeling that someone owes us, the pain brought on by
the wrongs others have done us, etc., will always stop any
interior progress of the soul.
Jesus, the Great KABIR, said: "Come to terms quickly
with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him,
or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the
judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown
into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you
have paid the last penny." [Matt. 5:25-26].
If someone owes us, then we owe someone. If we demand
payment up to the last penny, we must first pay up to the last
penny.

The "Law of the Talion" says: "An eye for an eye and a
tooth for a tooth." It is an absurd and vicious circle.
Even though we consider ourselves to be "gentle lambs,"
the apologies, humiliation and personal fulfilment we demand
from others for the wrongs they have done us, are also
demanded from us.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SONG

It is absurd to put ourselves under unnecessary laws. It is
far better to place ourselves under new influences.
The Law of Mercy is a much higher influence than the law
of the violent man: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
It is urgent and absolutely necessary that we place ourselves intelligently under the wonderful influences of the
Gnostic Esoteric Work without any delay, that we forget what
others owe us, and eliminate any form of self-centeredness
from our psyche.
We should never allow any feelings of revenge within us,
resentment, negative emotions, anxieties because of the
wrongs done to us, such as violence, envy, incessant
memories of debts, etc., etc., etc.
Gnosis is destined for those sincere aspirants who truly
want to work and change.
When we observe people, we obtain the direct proof that
each person has his own song.
Each one sings his own psychological song. I am refer-ring
emphatically to the issue of these psychological tales: to feel
that others owe us, to complain, to be self-centered, etc.
Sometimes people sing their song "just like that," non-stop
and without any prompting, and at other times with the help
of a few drinks ...

What we are saying is that our boring songmust be eliminated! It incapacitates us internally and steals a lot of our
energy.
With respect to Revolutionary Psychology, someone who
sings too well - we are not talking about a beautiful voice or
about a physical song - certainly cannot go beyond himself;
he stays in the past. . .
A person impeded by sad songs cannot change his Level of
Being, he cannot go beyond what he is.
In order to move to a Higher Level of the Being, it is
necessary to stop being what we are. We must not be what we
are.
If we continue to be what we are, we will never be able to
advance to a Higher Level of the Being.
Many unusual things happen in everyday life. Very often a
person strikes up a friendship with someone else only because
it is easy to sing his song to him.
Unfortunately, such relationships end when the singer is
told to shut up, to change the record, to change the subject,
etc.
The resentful singer then goes looking for another friend,
for someone who is willing to listen to him for an indefinite
period of time.

The singer demands understanding. He wants someone to
understand him, as if it were so easy to understand others.
In order to understand others we must understand ourselves. Unfortunately, the good singer believes that he
understands himself.
There are many disappointed singers who sing the song of
being misunderstood and who dream of a wonderful world
where they are the central character.
However, not all singers are public. There are also many
who are reserved; they never sing their song openly; instead
they sing it secretly.
These are people who have worked very hard and have
suffered a great deal. They feel cheated and think that life
owes them everything that they were unable to get.
They generally have an internal sadness, a feeling of
monotony and terrible boredom, inner weariness or
frustration around which all their thoughts pile up.
Secret songs unquestionably close the entrance to the path
of Inner Self-Realization of the Being.
Unfortunately, we do not notice such secret interior songs
unless we observe them intentionally.

Obviously, any self-observation allows light to penetrate
into our innermost depths.
No interior change can occur in our psyche, unless it is
brought into the light of self-observation.
It is absolutely necessary to observe ourselves when we
are alone, just as we do when we are with people.
When we are alone, many different I's, very distinct
thoughts, negative emotions, etc., emerge.
We are not always in good company when we are alone. It
is only normal and very natural to be in very bad company in
our solitude. The most negative and dangerous I's appear
when we are alone.
If we want to radically transform ourselves, we must
sacrifice our own sufferings.
Very often we express our sufferings through either
articulate or inarticulate songs.
Chapter 25
RETURN AND RECURRENCE

man is what his life is. If a man
does not change anything in
himself, if he does not transform
his life radically, if he does not
work on himself, then he is
miserably wasting his time.
Death is the return to the very
beginning of one's life with the
possibility of repeating it anew.
Much has been said in PseudoEsoteric and Pseudo-Occult literature on the subject of
successive lives; we would do better to concern ourselves
with successive existences.
Everyone's life is always the same, time after time,
repeating itself from one existence to another, over count-less
centuries.
Unquestionably, we continue within the seed of our
descendants. This is something that has already been proven.
In particular, the life of every one of us is a living movie
that we take with us to eternity when we die.
Each one of us takes his reel of film and brings it back to
project it once more onto the screen of a new existence.

The repetition of dramas, comedies and tragedies is a
fundamental principle of the Law of Recurrence.
In each new existence, the same circumstances are always
repeated. The actors of such repeated scenes are those people
who live in our interior: the I's.
If we disintegrate those actors, those I's that bring forth the
repeated scenes in our lives, the repetition of such circumstances would then be more than impossible.
Obviously, without actors, there would be no scenes. This
is something undeniable and irrefutable.
RETURN AND RECURRENCE

This is how we can free ourselves from the Laws of Return
and Recurrence. This is how we can truly free ourselves.
It is obvious that each one of these characters (I's) that we
carry inside plays out its same role from existence to
existence. If we disintegrate it, if the actor dies, the role ends.
By seriously reflecting upon the Law of Recurrence or
repetition of scenes in each Return, we discover through inner
self-observation the secret elements which trigger these
scenes.
If a man had a love affair at the age of twenty-five, there is
no doubt that the I of that commitment will again seek the
woman of his dreams at the age of twenty-five in the new
existence.
If the woman in question was only fifteen years old, the I
of that affair will seek her beloved at the very same age in the
new existence.
It is clearly understood that the two I's, both his and hers,
seek each other telepathically and meet again to repeat the
same love affair of their past existence.
Two enemies, who fought each other to the death in a past
existence, will seek each other again in order to repeat the
same tragedy at the same ages in the new existence.
If two people had a dispute over real estate at the age of
forty in a past existence, they will again seek each other

telepathically at the same age in the new existence in order to
repeat the same thing.
Within each one of us live many people full of commitments; this is irrefutable.
A thief carries a "den" of thieves within him, each one with
various criminal commitments. The murderer has a "gang" of
assassins within him, and the lustful person has a "cali house"
within his psyche.
What makes this so critical is that the intellect is unaware
of the existence of such people or I's within us, and therefore
unaware of those commitments which will inevitably be
fulfilled in time.
All the commitments of these I's that dwell within us take
place outside the confines of our reasoning.
They are facts of which we are unaware, things which
happen to us and events which develop subconsciously and
unconsciously.
It has been correctly said that everything happens to us in
much the same way as rain follows thunder.
What we actually have is the illusion of doing. However,
we do nothing; everything happens to us. This is disastrous;
this is mechanical...

Our personality is only the instrument of different people
(I's) through which each one of these people (I's) fulfils his
engagements.
Many things happen beyond our cognitive capacity.
Unfortunately, we are unaware of what happens beyond our
poor reasoning.
We think that we are knowledgeable when, in fact, we do
not even know that we do not know. We are just like a
miserable piece of driftwood dragged along by the turbulent
waves of the sea of existence.
The only way to get out of this misery, out of this
unconsciousness, out of this very unfortunate state that we are
in, is to die within ourselves ...
How can we awaken without previously dying ? Only with
death comes the new! If the seed does not die, the plant is not
born!
Those who truly awaken acquire full objectivity of their
consciousness, authentic enlightenment, happiness...
CHILDLIKE SELF-AWARENESS
Chapter 26
CHILDLIKE SELF-AWARENESS
e have been very wisely to\d that
we have ninety-seven percent
SUBCONSCIOUSNESS
and
THREE PERCENT CONSCIOUSNESS.
Speaking frankly and honestly, we
can say that ninety-seven percent of
the Essence that we carry within us
is bottled up, entrapped and located
within each one of the I's that form
the "Me-Myself."
Obviously, the Essence or Consciousness is entrapped
within each I and acts according to its own conditioning.
Any disintegrated I liberates a certain percentage of
Consciousness. The emancipation or liberation of the Essence
or Consciousness would be impossible without the
disintegration of each I.
The larger the quantity of disintegrated I's, the greater the
degree of Self-Awareness. The smaller the quantity of
disintegrated I's, the lesser the percentage of awakened
Consciousness.
The awakening of Consciousness is only possible by
dissolving the I by dying within ourselves, here and now.

As long as the Essence or Consciousness is embottled
within each one of the I's that we carry within us, it is unquestionable that it will remain asleep, in a subconscious
state.
We need to urgently transform the subconscious to the
conscious. This is only possible through the annihilation of
the I's, by dying within ourselves.
It is impossible to awaken without having previously died
within ourselves. Those who try to awaken first and die (later
do not possess any real experience of what they are saying.
They are walking boldly along the path of error.
Newborn babies are wonderful. They enjoy full selfawareness. They are completely awake.
The Essence is reincorporated into the body of the newborn, and this is what gives babies their beauty.
We do not mean that one hundred percent of the Essence
or Consciousness is reincorporated into the newborn, but only
the free three percent which is normally not entrapped in the
I's.
However, this percentage of free Essence which is reincorporated in the organism of newborn babies gives them full
self-awareness, lucidity, etc.
Adults look at the newborn with pity. They think that the
baby is unconscious, but they are regrettably mistaken.

The newborn baby sees the adult as he really is: unconscious, cruel, perverse, etc.
The I's of the newborn come and go circling around the
cradle. They would like to get into the new body, but all
attempts of the I's to enter the new body are in vain because
the baby has not yet created its personality.
Sometimes children are frightened when they see these
ghosts or I's getting close to the cradle. They then cry and
scream, but adults do not understand this; they think that the
child is sick, hungry or thirsty. This is how unconscious adults
are.
As the new personality is being formed, the I's that come
from past existences slowly penetrate the new body.
Once all the I's are reincorporated, we appear in the world
with that horrible interior ugliness which characterizes us. We
then move around like sleepwalkers, unconscious and
perverse as ever.
When we die, three things go to the grave:
1. The physical body. 2. The vital organic foundation. 3.
The personality.
The vital foundation disintegrates slowly, like a phantom
in front of the tomb, at the same time as the physical body is
disintegrating.

The personality is subconscious or infra-conscious. It goes
in and out of the tomb at will, feels happy when the mourners
bring flowers, loves its relatives, all the while dissolving very
slowly until it becomes cosmic dust.
What continues beyond the grave is the EGO, the pluralized /, the Me-Myself, hordes of devils - within which the
Essence, the Consciousness is entrapped - which return and
reincorporate at the right time and hour.
It is unfortunate that when the new personality of the child
is formed, the I's reincorporate also.
Chapter 27
THE TAX COLLECTOR AND THE PHARISEE

hen we reflect a little on the different circumstances of life, it is
well worthwhile to make a serious
effort
to
comprehend
the
foundations upon which we stand.
One person stands on his position,
another on money, others on
prestige, and still others on the
past, on a particular title, etc., etc.,
etc.
The strangest thing is that, whether we are rich or poor, we all
need and depend on each other, even though we are inflated
with pride and vanity.
Let us think for a moment about what can be taken away from
us. What would our fate be in a revolution of firewater and
blood? What would be left of the foundations upon which we
stand? Poor us! We believe ourselves to be very strong, but
we are terribly weak!
The I which believes that it is in itself the basis upon which
we stand must be dissolved if we really yearn for authentic
Bliss.
Such an I underrates other people. It thinks that it is better
than anybody else, superior in everything, richer, more
intelligent, more experienced in life, etc.

Now it is appropriate to quote Jesus the Great KABIR's
parable concerning two men who were praying. It was addressed to certain people who believed themselves to be just
and who despised others.
Jesus the Christ said: "Two men went up to the temple to
pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The
Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, 'God, I thank
you that I am not like other people: thieves, scoundrels,
adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I
give a tenth of all my income.' But the tax collector, standing
far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his
breast and saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell
you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the
other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all
who humble themselves will be exalted." [Luke 18: 10-14].
As long as the concept of "More" exists within us, it is
absolutely impossible for us to begin to recognize the misery
and meaninglessness of our lives. For example: I am more
just that, I am wiser than, more virtuous than, wealthier than,
chaster than, more knowledgeable about life than, more
capable of fulfilling my obligations than, etc., etc., etc.
It is impossible to pass through the eye of a needle as long as
we are "rich," as long as there is this complex of "More"
within us.
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

To boast that my school is the best and that my neighbour's is
useless; that my Religion is the only true one and that all the
others are wrong and perverted; that my wife is a saint and
that his is terrible; that my friend Robert is a drunkard and
that I am wiser and a teetotaler, etc., etc., etc., this is what
makes us feel rich, and the reason for which we are all the
"CAMELS" of the biblical parable in relation to Esoteric
Work.
It is urgent that we self-observe from moment to moment in
order to clearly know the foundation upon which we stand.
When somebody discovers what offended him most at a given
moment with respect to what people said about him, then he
discovers the grounds upon which he is standing
psychologically.
In the Christian Gospel, these grounds are represented by "the
sands upon which we built our houses."
We need to carefully note how and when we are
condescending to others or feeling superior due to our titles,
social position, acquired experience, money, etc., etc., etc.
THE TAX COLLECTOR AND THE PHARISEE

To feel rich, to feel superior to others for whatever reason, is
very wrong. People like this cannot enter the Kingdom of
Heaven.
We should discover what flatters us and what satisfies our
vanity, as this will show us the foundation which supports us.
However, this type of observation must not be purely
theoretical. We must be practical and observe ourselves
carefully and directly, from instant to instant.
When we begin to understand our own insignificance and
misery, when we abandon our delusions of grandeur, when we
discover the stupidity of so many titles, honours, and vain
sense of superiority over others, then it is an unmistakable
sign that we are beginning to change.
We cannot change if we keep saying "My house," "My
money," "My properties," "My job," "My virtues," "My
intellectual capacity," "My artistic capacity," "My
knowledge," "My prestige," etc., etc., etc.
The fact that we cling to the words "My" and "Mine" is more
than enough to impede our recognition of our own
worthlessness and interior misery.
The scene of a fire or a shipwreck is really amazing.
Desperate people often grab things that make you laugh,
things of no importance.
e

Poor people! They identify with those things. They rely upon
stupidities. They are attached to things that are to-tally
meaningless.
To see and identify ourselves through external things and to
base ourselves upon them is equivalent to being in a state of
total unconsciousness.
The feeling of the "BEING" (the REAL BEING) is only
possible when we dissolve all those I's that we carry within.
Until this happens, such an understanding is more than
impossible.
Unfortunately, the worshippers of the I do not accept this.
They believe that they are gods. They think that they already
possess those "Heavenly Bodies" mentioned by Paul of
Tarsus. They assume that the / is Divine and no one can
remove this nonsense from their heads.
One does not know what to do with such people. They are
given explanations and they do not understand. They always
cling to the sands upon which they have built their houses.
They are always absorbed in their dogmas, whims and
foolishness.
If those people were to self-observe seriously, they would
verify for themselves the Doctrine of the Many. They would
discover within themselves the multiplicity of persons or I's
which live in our interior.

How could the real sense of our true BEING exist within
ourselves when those I's are feeling and thinking for us?
The worst thing about this tragedy is that a person thinks that
he is thinking, feels that he is feeling when, in reality, at any
given moment it is somebody else thinking with his
tormented brain and feeling with his broken heart.
How unhappy we are! How many times have we believed that
we are in love when, in fact, it was somebody else within us
full of lust, who was using the heart center?
How miserable we are! We confuse animal passion with love
when, in fact, it is somebody else within us, within our
personality, who is confused!
We all believe that we would never pronounce the words of
the Pharisee as in the biblical parable: "God, I thank you that
I am not like other people," etc., etc.
However, though it seems incredible, this is how we act every
day. The butcher at the meat market says: "I am not like the
other butchers who sell bad quality meat and exploit people."
The tailor in his shop says: "I am not like other tailors who
get rich by taking incorrect measurements and robbing their
clients."
The milkman claims: "I am not like the other milkmen who
water down the milk. I like to be honest."

The housewife makes the following comment to a friend: "I
am not like that other woman who goes around with other
men. Thank God! I am a decent person and faithful to my
husband."
In conclusion, others are wicked, unjust, adulterers, thieves
and perverts, while each one of us is an "innocent lamb," a
"little angel," pure enough to be displayed in a golden niche
on a church altar.
How foolish we are! We often think that we do not act
stupidly and perversely as we see others do, and for this
reason we conclude that we are wonderful people. Unfortunately, we are blind to our own nonsense and meanness.
There are rare moments in life when the mind is at rest and
not preoccupied by anything. When the mind is quiet, when
the mind is silent, then something new happens.
At such moments it is possible to see the bases, the foundations upon which we stand.
When the mind is profoundly at rest, we can see for ourselves
the harsh reality of those sands upon which we built our
house. [Matt. 7: 24 to 27, the parable on the two founda
tions.]
Chapter 28
THE WILL
bove all, the "Great Work"
consists of the creation of man
by
himself
based
upon
conscious work and voluntary
sufferings.
The "Great Work" is the interior
conquest of ourselves, of our
true freedom in God.
It is extremely urgent and
pressing that we disintegrate all
those I's living within us, if we
really want the perfect emancipation of the Will.
Nicholas Flamel and Raymond Lully, both poor men, freed
their will and performed countless, amazing psychological
wonders.
Agrippa never got past the first part of the "Great Work."
He died painfully, fighting for the disintegration of his I's in
order to gain possession of himself and establish his
independence.
The perfect emancipation of the will ensures the sage
absolute authority over Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

To many students of contemporary psychology, the aforementioned reference to the sovereign power of the
emancipated will may seem exaggerated. However, the Bible
says wonderful things about Moses.
According to Filn, Moses was an initiate in the land of
the Pharaohs on the banks of the Nile. He was a Priest of
Osiris and a cousin of the Pharaoh. He was raised among the
columns of ISIS, the Divine Mother, and OSIRIS, our Father
who is in secret.
Moses was a descendant of the Patriarch Abraham, the
great Chaldean Magus, and of the highly respectable Isaac.
Moses, the man who freed the electric power of his will,
had the gift to perform wonders. The Divinities know this, as
do humans; so it is written.
Everything that the Holy Scriptures say about that Hebrew leader is truly extraordinary and amazing.
Moses changed his rod into a snake. He changed one of his
hands into that of a leper and then restored it to health.
The test of the "burning bush" made his power very clear.
People understood, knelt down, and prostrated themselves.
Moses used a Magic Staff, an emblem of real power, the
priestly power of the Initiate in the Great Mysteries of Life
and Death.

Before the Pharaoh, Moses changed the waters of the Nile
into blood; fish died, and the sacred river became
contaminated. The Egyptians could not drink from it and the
irrigation ditches of the Nile poured blood onto the fields.
Moses did more. He made millions of disproportionate,
monstrous, gigantic frogs appear and rise out of the river to
invade the houses. Then, with a gesture demonstrating free
and sovereign will, he made those horrible frogs disappear.
Since the Pharaoh still did not liberate the Israelites, Moses
worked new marvels. He covered the land with dust and
raised swarms of vile and disgusting flies, and then gave
himself the luxury of removing them.
He unleashed a horrible plague in which all the flocks
died, except those of the Jews.
The Holy Scriptures say that he took soot out of a furnace,
threw it in the air, and then it fell on the Egyptians giving
them ulcers and pustules.
Extending his famous Magic rod, Moses made hail fall
from the sky, destroying and killing mercilessly. He then
made lightning and rumbling thunderbolts strike and there
was a terrifying downpour of rain; then with a gesture, he
brought back the calm.
THE WILL

However, the Pharaoh continued to be inflexible. With a
tremendous blow of his magic staff, Moses made clouds of
locusts appear as if by enchantment, and then darkness carne.
Another blow with the staff, and everything returned to
normal.
The end of this Biblical Drama of the Old Testament is
well known: Jehovah intervened, had all the first born of the
Egyptians die, and the Pharaoh had no choice but to let the
Hebrews go.
After that, Moses used his magic staff to part the waters of
the Red Sea so that they could cross on dry land.
When the Egyptian warriors rushed to the site to pursue
the Israelites, Moses signalled for the waters to flow back
swallowing up the pursuers.
Unquestionably, upon reading this, many PseudoOccultists would like to be able to do the same, to have the
same powers as Moses. However, this is more than
impossible as long as the Will continues to be embottled
inside each and every one of those I'S that we carry in the
depths of our psyche.
The Essence, crammed inside the "Me-Myself," is the
Genie of Aladdin's lamp striving for freedom . . . When freed,
that Genie can do wonders.
The Essence is "Will-Consciousness." Unfortunately, it
acts by virtue of our own conditioning.

When the Will is freed it mixes or fuses with the Universal
Will, becoming part of it and therefore sovereign.
The Individual Will fused with the Universal Will can
perform all the marvels of Moses.
There are three types of actions:
1. Those which correspond to the Law of Accidents. 2.
Those which belong to the Law of Recurrence, things which
are always repeated in each existence. 3. Actions deter-mined
intentionally by Conscious Will.
Unquestionably, only people who have liberated their Will
by means of the death of the "Me-Myself' can perform new
actions born of their free will.
The common everyday actions of humanity are always the
result of the Law of Recurrence or the simple products of
mechanical accidents.
Anyone who truly possesses free Will can initiate new
circumstances. Anyone whose Will is embottled within the
"Pluralized /' is a victim of circumstance.
On every page of the Bible there is a marvellous display of
High Magic, Visions, Prophecies, Prodigies, Transfigurations,
Resurrections of the dead by using either insufflation, laying
on of hands, or staring at the root of the nose, etc., etc., etc.

There are many references in the Bible to massages, holy
oil, magnetic passes, the application of saliva on sick parts of
the body, mind reading, transportations, apparitions, voices
coming from above, etc., etc., etc. These are the real wonders
of the freed, emancipated and sovereign Conscious Will.
Sorcerers? Enchanters? Black Magicians? They are as
common as weeds. However, they are neither saints, prophets,
nor Adepts of the White Brotherhood.
Nobody can obtain "Real Enlightenment" nor exercise the
Absolute Priesthood of the Conscious Will, unless he has first
died radically within himself, here and now.
Many people frequently write to us, complaining that they
have had no enlightenment, requesting powers, demanding
the keys to becoming Magicians, etc., etc., etc. But they are
not interested in self-observation, in self-knowledge, in
disintegrating those psychic aggregates, those I's which entrap
the Will, the Essence.
Obviously, such people are condemned to failure. They
covet the faculties of the Saints, but in no way are they
willing to die within themselves.
The elimination of errors is something magical, something
extraordinary in itself. It implies rigorous psychological selfobservation.
It is possible to exercise such powers when the wonderful
power of the Will is radically freed.

Unfortunately, since the will of every person is entrapped
within each I, it is obvious that it is divided into multiple wills
which act separately according to their own conditioning.
It is therefore easy to understand that each I has its own
particular unconscious will.
The countless wills entrapped in the I's are frequently
fighting
each
other, thus making
us impotent, weak,
miserable, victims
of circumstance,
and
good
for
nothing.
THE
DECAPITATION
Chapter 29
THE
DECAPITATION
s we work on ourselves, we understand more and more the
need to radically eliminate from our interior nature everything
that makes us so abominable.

The worst circumstances in life,
the most critical situations, the
most difficult events are always
wonderful for inner self
discovery.
The most secret I'S appear when
we are thinking about them the
least, during those unsuspected,
critical moments. If we are alert,
then we will unquestionably
discover ourselves.
The quietest times in life are precisely the least favourable for
working on ourselves.
There are very complicated moments in life when we have a
strong tendency to identify easily with events and to forget
ourselves completely. This is when we do stupid things which
lead us nowhere. If we had been alert during those moments
instead of losing our head, if we had remembered ourselves,
we would have discovered to our surprise certain I'S which we
never would have suspected in the least.
The Sense of inner self-observation is atrophied in all human
beings. However, by working seriously, by self-ob-serving
from moment to moment, that Sense develops gradually.
As the Sense of self-observation develops with continuous
use, we are more and more able to perceive, in a direct way,
those I's whose existence was completely unknown to us.

Revealed by the Sense of inner self-observation, each one of
those I's living within us assumes a particular figure that is
secretly attuned to the defect it personifies. There is no doubt
that the image of each I has a certain unmistakable
psychological characteristic which enables us to instinctively
apprehend, capture and seize its inner nature and the defect
which it characterizes.
In the beginning, the esoterist does not know where to start.
He feels the need to work on himself but he is completely
disoriented.
If we are alert and if we take advantage of the critical
moments, the most unpleasant situations, the most adverse
circumstances, then we will discover our conspicuous defects,
the I's that we must urgently disintegrate.
We might start with anger or pride, or the wretched instant of
lust, etc., etc., etc.
If we truly want a definitive change, we need to take note of
all our psychological states during the day.
A good time to examine the events of the day would be before
going to bed. For example, we can examine embarrassing
situations, Aristophanes's wild cackle and Socrates's subtle
smile.

It could be that we have offended someone with a laugh; it
could be that we have hurt someone with a smile or a look
that is out of place.
Let us remember that in pure esoterism, "good" is everything
that is in its place, and "bad" is everything that is out of place.
Water in its place is good, but if it floods the house it would
cause damage and be bad and harmful.
Fire in a kitchen stove is in its place; it is useful and good.
However, when out of place, it may burn the furniture and be
bad and harmful.
Any virtue, no matter how holy, is good in its place. Out of
place, it is bad and harmful. We may hurt others with virtues.
It is absolutely necessary that we put virtues in their proper
place.
What would you say about a priest preaching the gospel in a
whorehouse? What would you say about a gentle and tolerant
man blessing a gang of assailants trying to rape his wife and

daughters? What would you say about such an excessive case
of tolerance? What would you say about the charitable act of
a man who provides money to some depraved beggars instead
of bringing food home to his family? What would you think
of the helpful person who, at one point in time, hands a
dagger over to a murderer?
Remember dear reader, crime also hides within the cadences
of verse. There is much virtue in the wicked, and much
wickedness in the virtuous.
Although it may seem incredible, crime also hides within the
very perfume of prayer.
Crime disguises itself as a saint by using the best virtues. It
presents itself as a martyr and even officiates in holy temples.
As the Sense of inner self-observation develops in us through
continuous use, we begin to see all those I's which serve as
the basic foundation of our individual temperament, be it
sanguine or nervous, phlegmatic or irritable.
Believe it or not dear reader, behind our temperament, in the
most remote depths of our psyche hide the most detestable
diabolic creations.
With the consistent development of the Sense of inner selfobservation, it is possible to see those creations, to observe
those infernal monstrosities in which our very consciousness
is embottled.

As long as a man has not dissolved these creations from hell,
these aberrations of himself, there is no doubt that in his most
profound depths he will continue to be something that should
not exist, an abomination, a deformity.
Worst of all is that the detestable person is not aware of his
own abominations. He believes himself to be handsome, just
and good, and even complains about others' lack of
understanding; he complains about the ingratitude of his
fellowmen; he says that they do not understand him; he cries
that they owe him, that they have paid him unfairly; etc., etc.,
etc.
The Sense of inner self-observation allows us to verify for
ourselves, in a direct manner, the secret method with which
we are dissolving this or that I (or psychological defect),
which was possibly discovered under difficult conditions and
when we least expected it.
Have you ever thought about what pleases or displeases you
most in life? Have you ever reflected upon what secretly
triggers your actions? Why do you want a beautiful house?
Why do you want the latest model car? Why do you always
want to be dressed in the latest fashion? Why do you desire
not to be greedy? What was it that offended you most at a
given moment? What flattered you most yesterday? Why did
you feel superior to so and so at a certain moment? At what
time did you feel superior to someone? Why did you act so
conceitedly when relating your successes? Why couldn't you
keep quiet when they were gossiping about another person
that you know? Did you accept liquor out of politeness? Did

you perhaps take a cigarette, even though you do not smoke,
possibly trying to look smart or manly? Are you sure that you
have been honest in a certain conversation? And when you
were telling of your successes, justifying and praising
yourself and repeating what you had already told others, did
you realize how conceited you were?
The Sense of inner self-observation not only allows you to
clearly see the / that you are dissolving, but it also allows you
to see the poignant and definite results of your interior Work.
In the beginning these creations from hell, these psychic
aberrations that unfortunately characterize you are uglier and
more monstrous than the most hideous creatures of the seas or
the earth's deepest jungles. As you progress in your Work, you
can verify through the Sense of interior self-observation the
fact that those abominations are losing strength and
shrinking
It is interesting to realize that, as these beastly characters
decrease in size and get weaker, they gain in beauty and
slowly assume childlike figures. Finally they disintegrate into
cosmic dust and the entrapped Essence is set free; it is
emancipated; it awakens.
Undoubtedly, the mind cannot fundamentally alter any
psychological defect. It is obvious that understanding can
give us the luxury of labelling a defect with this or that name,
justifying it, moving it from one level to another, etc., but it
can never disintegrate or annihilate it by itself.

What we urgently need is a flaming power which is superior
to the mind, a power that in itself is capable of reducing this
or that psychological defect to mere cosmic dust.
Fortunately, that serpentine power exists within ourselves. It
is the wonderful fire that the ancient medieval alchemists
baptized with the mysterious name of Stella Maris. It is the
Virgin of the Sea, the Azoe of Hermes's Science, the
Tonantzin of Mexico's Aztecs. It is the derivative of our own
innermost Being, our interior Mother-God, always
symbolized by the sacred serpent of the Great Mysteries.
If, after having observed and profoundly comprehended this
or that psychological defect (or I), we implore our personal
Cosmic Mother - and each one of us has his own - to
disintegrate the defect which is the object of our interior Work
and reduce it to cosmic dust, then you can be sure that it will
be reduced in volume and slowly pulverized.
Naturally, this involves consistent, in-depth and continuous
work. No I can be disintegrated instantaneously. Through the
Sense of inner self-observation we will be able to see the
progress of the work related to the abomination that we are
truly interested in disintegrating.
Although it may seem incredible, Stella Maris is the astral
signature of human sexual power.
Obviously, Stella Maris has the effective power to disintegrate the aberrations which we carry in our psychological
interior.

The decapitation of John the Baptist invites us to reflect. Any
radical psychological change would be impossible if we did
not first undergo decapitation.
As an electric power unknown to all mankind, and which lies
latent in the very depths of our psyche, our own derived
Being, Tonantzin, Stella Maris obviously has the power that
allows her to behead any / before the final disintegration.
Stella Maris is that philosophers' fire which is latent in all
organic and inorganic matter.
Psychological impulses can provoke the intensive action of
such a fire and then decapitation becomes possible.
Usually, some I's are beheaded in the beginning of the
psychological Work, others half way through, and the
remaining ones at the end. Stella Maris, as an igneous sexual
power, is fully conscious of the work to be done and proceeds
with the decapitation at the opportune and appropriate
moment.
We may believe ourselves to be people who keep our word,
who are honourable, courteous, sincere, charitable, beautiful
on the inside, etc. However, as long as the disintegration of
every one of these psychological abominations - lewdness,
cursing, stealing, envy, open or secret adultery, greed for
money or psychic powers - has not taken place, then
obviously we will be nothing more than whitewashed tombs:

nice and clean on the outside, but full of corruption and decay
on the inside.
Scholarly knowledge, pseudo-wisdom, pseudo-occultism,
pseudo-esoterism, all the information from holy scriptures -be
they from the East, West, North or South - the absolute
security of being well informed, the uncompromising
sectarianism accompanied by complete conviction, etc., are
all worthless. In reality, the only thing that does exist within
us is basically what we are unaware of: creations from hell,
curses, monstrosities that hide behind pretty faces, serene
smiles, the very holy robe of the sacred leader, etc.
We must be honest and ask ourselves just what it is that we
want. Have we come to the Gnostic Teachings out of sheer
curiosity? If we do not want to undergo the decapitation that
we have been talking about, then we are fooling ourselves.
We are defending our own inner misery. We are being
hypocrites.
In the most venerable schools of occultism and esoteric
wisdom there are many sincere but mistaken people who
really want to self-realize, but they do not dedicate themselves to the disintegration of their interior abominations.
There are many people who assume that with good intentions
it is possible to attain sanctification. Obviously, as long as we
do not work intensely on those interior I's that we carry
within, they will continue to exist underneath our
compassionate expression and good behaviour.

The time has come to recognize that we are wicked people
disguised in holy tunics, wolves in sheep's clothing, cannibals
dressed up as gentlemen, executioners hidden behind the holy
sign of the cross, etc.
No matter how majestic we may appear within our temples,
or in our classrooms full of light and harmony, no matter how
sweet and serene we may appear to those around us, no
matter how reverent and humble we may seem, all the
abominations from hell and all the monstrosities of war
continue to exist in the depths of our psyche.
Revolutionary Psychology clearly shows us the necessity of
radical transformation. This transformation is only possible
by declaring a cruel and pitiless war upon ourselves to the
bitter end.
Certainly, we are all worthless. Every one of us is the disgrace
of the Earth, something utterly despicable.
Fortunately, John the Baptist taught us the secret path: TO
DIE WITHIN OURSELVES THROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL DECAPITATION.
THE PERMANENT CENTER OF GRAVITY

Chapter 30
THE PERMANENT CENTER OF GRAVITY

ithout having true individuality, it
is impossible to have continuity of
purpose.
It is absurd to expect anyone to
have continuity of purpose if the
psychological individual does not
exist, if many people are living
within each one of us, if there is no
one in charge.
We know very well that there are many people living inside a
person. Therefore, a full sense of responsibility does not
really exist within us.
What a certain I declares at a particular moment can never
be taken seriously due to the real fact that any other I may, at
any other moment, declare exactly the opposite.
The worst thing about this situation is that many people
believe that they possess a moral sense of responsibility, and
they deceive themselves when they say that they are always
the same.
There are people who come to study Gnosis at some point
in time in their existence; their faces shine with eagerness and
they are full of enthusiasm for the Esoteric Work; they even
swear to devote the rest of their lives to such work.

Unquestionably, the brothers and sisters of our movement
come to admire such enthusiasm.
One can only feel great joy when listening to these devoted and definitely sincere people.
However, the idyll does not last very long. One day, for
one reason or another, whether just or unjust, simple or
complicated, the person abandons Gnosis. The person
therefore abandons the Work and, to rectify the damage or to
try to justify himself, he affiliates with another mystical
organization thinking that now he is better off.
All this coming and going, all this continuous changing of
schools, sects and religions, is due to the multiplicity of I'S
fighting among themselves for their own supremacy within
our interior.
Since each I has its own criterion, its own mind and its
own ideas, this changing of opinions, this constant flitting
from one organization to another, from ideal to ideal, etc., is
only normal.
The person himself is nothing more than a machine
serving as a vehicle for one I or another.
Some mystical I's deceive themselves. After leaving this or
that sect they resort to believing themselves to be Gods,
shining like will-o'-the-wisps before ultimately vanishing.

There are people who just dabble in Esoteric Work for a
while. Later, as soon as another I intervenes, they abandon
these studies for good and let life swallow them up.
Obviously, if we do not wrestle with life, it devours us.
Actually, it is rare to find aspirants who do not let life swallow them up.
A Permanent Center of Gravity cannot exist within any
one of us as long as we have a multiplicity of I's.
It is only natural that not everyone will become internally
self-realized. We know very well that the Inner SelfRealization of the Being requires continuity of purpose; and
since it is very hard to find someone with a Permanent Center
of Gravity, there is nothing odd about the fact that people who
reach profound interior Self-Realization are very rare.
We usually become enthusiastic about the Esoteric Work
and then abandon it. What is unusual is to continue the Work
and reach the goal.
Certainly, and in the name of truth, we can declare that the
Sun is carrying out a very complicated and extremely difficult
laboratory experiment.
There are seeds within the intellectual animal mistakenly
called man, which can be properly developed to transform us
into solar men.

However, we must make it clear that it is not certain that
these seeds will develop. Normally, they degenerate and are
regrettably lost.
In any case, the seeds in question, which can transform us
into solar men, need a suitable environment, as it is well
known that a seed in barren soil is not able to germinate and
is lost.
We need to have continuity of purpose, and a normal
physical body so that the true seed of man, which is deposited
in the sexual glands, can germinate.
If scientists continue to experiment with the glands of
internal secretion, the development of the aforementioned
seed may become quite impossible.
Although it might seem incredible, ants have already gone
through a similar process in the remote ancient past of our
planet Earth.
One is filled with wonder upon contemplating the
perfection of an ant palace. There is no doubt that the order
established in any anthill is fantastic.
The initiates who have awakened consciousness know
from direct mystical experience that ants were once a human
race which built an extremely powerful socialist civilization
in times that great historians of the world would not even
remotely suspect.

At that time the dictators of this society eliminated free
will and the various religious sects, as these reduced their
power. They wanted to be totalitarians in the complete sense
of the word.
Under such conditions, with religious rights and individual
initiatives eliminated, the intellectual animal hurled himself
down the path of involution and degeneration.
In addition to this, they did all kinds of scientific
experiments, organ and gland transplants, experiments with
hormones, etc., etc., etc. The result was a gradual reduction in
size and a morphological alteration of these human organisms until at last they became the ants of today.
All of the workings of the socially established order of that
civilization became mechanical and were handed down from
father to son. Today it is really amazing to observe an anthill,
but we can only mourn their lack of intelligence.
If we do not work on ourselves, we in volute and
degenerate terribly.
Certainly, besides being difficult, the experiment that the
Sun is carrying out in nature's laboratory has given very few
results.
It is only possible to create solar men when each one of us
is really willing to cooperate.

The creation of the solar man is impossible if we do not
first establish a Permanent Center of Gravity in our interior.
How can we have continuity of purpose if we do not have
a Center of Gravity in our psyche?
Any race created by the Sun certainly has no other purpose
in nature than to serve the interests of this creation and the
solar experiment.
If the Sun fails in its experiment, it loses all interest in
such a race. This race will, in fact, be sentenced to destruction
and involution.
Each one of the races that has existed on the face of the
Earth has contributed to the solar experiment. The Sun has
achieved some successes from each race by harvesting small
groups of solar men.
When a race has borne its fruits, it gradually disappears or
it perishes violently through great catastrophes.
The creation of solar men is only possible when we fight
to be independent from the lunar forces. There is no doubt
that all these I's that we carry in our psyche are exclusively
lunar in nature.
It will be totally impossible to free ourselves from the
lunar force if we do not first establish a Permanent Center of
Gravity within us.

How can we totally dissolve the pluralized I if we do not
have continuity of purpose? How can we possibly have
continuity of purpose without having previously established a
Permanent Center of Gravity in our psyche?
Since our present human race has lost all interest in solar
intelligence, instead of becoming independent from the lunar
influence, it has unquestionably condemned itself to
involution and degeneration.
It is impossible for the true Man to rise up through mechanical evolution. We know very well that evolution and its
twin sister, involution, are just two Laws that constitute the
mechanical axle of nature. Evolution occurs up to a certain
perfectly defined point and then involution begins. Every rise
is inevitably followed by a fall, and vice versa.
We are only machines controlled by various I's. We serve
the economy of nature. We do not have a definite individuality as many pseudo-occultists and pseudo-esoterists
mistakenly assume.
It is extremely urgent that we change so that the seeds of
man can bear their fruits.
We can only become solar Men by working on ourselves
with a real continuity of purpose and a complete moral sense
of responsibility. This implies the devotion of our en-tire
existence to the Esoteric Work on ourselves.

Those who hope to reach the solar state through the
mechanics of evolution are fooling themselves and, in fact,
condemning themselves to involutionary degeneration.
In Esoteric Work we cannot afford the luxury of being
changeable. Those who have fickle ideas, those who work on
their psyche today and let life swallow them up tomorrow,
those who look for excuses and justifications to abandon the
Esoteric Work, will degenerate and involute.
Some postpone that mistake. They put everything off while
they improve their economic situation, without realizing that
the solar experiment is quite different from their personal
opinions and well-known projects.
It is not so easy to become solar Men when we carry the
moon in our interior (the Ego is lunar).
The Earth has two moons. The second one of these is
called Lilith and is a little further away than the white moon.
Astronomers tend to see Lilith as a lentil because of its
small size. It is the black Moon.
The most sinister powers of the Ego reach the Earth from
Lilith and produce infra-human and beastly psychological
results.
The crimes reported in the press, the most monstrous
murders in history, the most unsuspected crimes etc., etc.,
etc., are due to the vibrating waves of Lilith.

The double lunar influence, represented in the human
being by the Ego which is carried within us, makes us
genuine failures.
In Esoteric Work we cannot afford the luxury of being c
If we do not see the urgency of devoting our entire existence to the Work on ourselves with the aim of freeing ourselves from the double lunar force, we will end up being
swallowed by the Moon. We will involute and degenerate
more and more into certain states that we can refer to as
unconscious and infra-conscious.
Worst of all is that we do not possess true individuality. If
we had a Permanent Center of Gravity, we would be working
very seriously until we attained the solar state.
In these matters there are so many excuses, so many ways
out, and so many fascinating attractions which make it almost
impossible to comprehend the urgency of the Esoteric Work.
However, the small margin of free will that we have, in
addition to the Gnostic Teachings that orient us towards
practical work, could serve as a foundation for our noble
purpose related to the solar experiment.
Our fickle mind does not understand what is being said
here. It reads this chapter and later forgets it. Then comes
another book and another one, until we end up joining any
institution that sells us a passport to heaven that speaks more

optimistically to us and guarantees us all sorts of comforts in
the beyond.
That is how people are, mere puppets controlled by invisible threads, mechanical dolls with fickle ideas and without
any continuity of purpose.
GNOSTIC ESOTERIC WORK

Chapter 31
GNOSTIC ESOTERIC WORK

t is imperative that we study
Gnosis and use the practical ideas
which are given in this book in
order to work seriously on
ourselves.
However, we cannot work on
ourselves with the intention of
dissolving any given I without
having previously observed it.
The observation of ourselves allows a ray of light to penetrate our interior.
Each I expresses itself one way in the mind, another way
in the heart, and yet another way in the sexual center.
We need to observe the I which we have seized at a given
moment. It is urgent that we see it in each one of these three
centers of our organism.
If, in our relationships with others, we are alert and
vigilant like a watchman in times of war, then we will discover ourselves.
Can you remember when your pride was hurt? . . . Your
vanity? What bothered you most during the day? Why were
you upset? What was the secret cause? Study this! Observe
what goes on in your mind, heart and sexual center . ..

Everyday life is a marvellous school. Through
interpersonal relationships we can discover those I's that we
carry within.
Through inner self-observation any trouble or incident can
lead us to the discovery of an /, whether it is pride, envy,
jealousy, anger, covetousness, suspicion, slander, lust, etc.,
etc., etc.
We need to know ourselves before we can get to know
others. It is imperative that we learn to see another's point of
view.
If we put ourselves in someone else's shoes, we will find
that within ourselves we have the same psychological defects
that we scorn in others, and even more.
It is essential to love our fellowmen, but we cannot love
others if, in the Esoteric Work, we do not learn to put
ourselves in their place.
Cruelty will continue to exist on the face of the Earth as
long as we have not learned to put ourselves in another's
place.
But if someone does not have the courage to see himself,
how will he be able to put himself in the others' place?
Why should we only see the bad in other people?

Mechanical aversion for another person upon first
impression shows that we do not know how to put ourselves
in the place of our fellowman, that we do not love him, and
that our consciousness is sound asleep.
Do we dislike certain people? Why? Maybe because they
drink? Let us observe ourselves! . . . Are we sure of our
virtue? Are we sure that we do not have the / of drunkenness
within us?
When we see a drunkard behaving like a clown, it would
be better to say "That's me; what silly things I am doing"! . . .
You are an honest and virtuous lady and that is why you
dislike a certain woman; you cannot stand her. Why? Are you
so sure of yourself? Do you believe that you do not have the /
of lust within you? Do you think that the woman who ruined
her reputation with her scandals and lewdness is perverse?
Are you sure that within you, you do not have the lust and
perversity that you see in her?
It would be better for you to self-observe internally and,
while in profound meditation, put yourself in the place of that
woman whom you detest.
If we really long for a radical change, it is urgent that we
value the Gnostic Esoteric Work. It is absolutely necessary to
appreciate it and comprehend it.

It is absolutely necessary to know how to love our fellowman, to study Gnosis, and to bring these teachings to all;
otherwise, we will become selfish.
If we apply ourselves to the Esoteric Work but do not pass
the teachings onto others, our inner progress becomes very
difficult due to a lack of love for our fellowman.
"He who gives shall receive, and the more he gives, the
more he shall receive; but he who gives nothing, even that
which he has shall be taken from him." That is the Law.
Chapter 32
PRAYER DURING THE WORK

bservation,
Judgment,
and
Execution are the three basic
factors for dissolution. First we
observe, second we judge, and
third, we execute.
War spies are first observed, then
judged, and finally shot.
In our relationships with others
there is self-discovery and selfrevelation. Whoever renounces
living with his fellowman is also renouncing self-discovery.

Any incident of life, however insignificant it may be,
undoubtedly has an inner actor within us, a psychic aggregate,
and I as its cause.
Self-discovery is possible when we find ourselves in a
state of alert-perception, alertness-to-the-new.
An I caught in the act must be carefully observed in our
mind, heart, and sexual center.
Any I of lust may manifest in the heart as love, in the mind
as an ideal, but when we focus our attention on the sexual
center, we feel a morbid excitement that cannot be confused.
The prosecution of any I must be definitive. We must sit
him down on the bench of the accused and judge him
mercilessly.
If we truly want to be conscious of the I which we are
eager to eliminate from our psyche, any excuse, justification
or consideration must be eliminated.
Execution is different. It would be impossible to execute
an I without having observed and judged it previously.
Prayer during the psychological Work is fundamental for
dissolution. If we really want to disintegrate this or that I, we
need a power that is superior to the mind.

The mind could never disintegrate any I by itself. This is
undeniable and irrefutable.
"To pray" means "to speak to God." If we truly want to
disintegrate our I's, we must appeal to our Mother-God
intimately. The ungrateful child, the one who does not love
his Mother, will fail in the Work on himself.
Each one of us has his own personal individual Divine
Mother. She, in herself, is a derived part of our own Being.
All the ancient peoples adored Mother-God who is found
within the depths of our Being. The feminine principle of the
Eternal One is ISIS, MARY, TONANTZIN, CIBELES,
RHEA, ADONIA, INSOBERTHA, etc., etc., etc.
As we have a father and a mother in the merely physical
plane, likewise we have within the depths of our being our
Father who is in secret, and our Divine Mother KUNDALINI.
There are as many Fathers in Heaven as there are people
on Earth. Mother-God, in our own intimacy, is the feminine
aspect of our Father who is in secret.
HE (our Father) and SHE (our Mother) are certainly the
two superior parts of our innermost Being. There is no doubt
that HE and SHE are our very Real Being, beyond the "I" of
psychology.

HE unfolds into HER and commands, leads and instructs.
SHE eliminates the undesirable elements that we carry within,
on the condition that we Work continuously on ourselves.
When we are radically dead, when all the undesirable
elements have been eliminated as the result of a great deal of
conscious work and voluntary sufferings, then we shall fuse
and integrate with the "FATHER-MOTHER," thus becoming
awesomely Divine Gods, beyond good and evil.

With her flaming powers, our personal individual Divine
Mother can reduce to cosmic dust any of those many I's that
have been previously observed and judged.
There is no need for any specific formula to pray to our
interior Divine Mother. We must be very sincere and natural
when we address HER. The child who addresses his mother
never uses special formulas. He says what comes from his
heart, and that is all.
No I can be dissolved instantaneously. Our Divine Mother
must work and even suffer a great deal before achieving the
annihilation of any I.
Become internally focused, direct your plea inward,
seeking your Divine Lady within, and by making sincere requests you can talk to he. Beseech Her to disintegrate that /
that you have previously observed and judged.
As the Sense of inner self-observation develops, it will
allow you to verify the progress of your work.
Comprehension and discernment are fundamental. However, if we really want to disintegrate the "ME-MYSELF," we
need something more.
The mind can give itself the luxury of labeling any defect,
transferring it from one department to another, exhibiting it,
hiding it, etc., but it will never be able to fundamentally alter
it.

We need a special power that is superior to the mind, a
flaming power capable of reducing any defect to ashes.
STELLA MARIS, our Divine Mother, has this power. She
can pulverize any psychological defect.
Our Divine Mother lives in our intimacy, beyond the body,
mind and emotions. She, by Herself, is an igneous power
superior to the mind.
Our personal Cosmic Individual Mother possesses Wisdom, Love and Power. There is absolute perfection in Her.
Good intentions and the constant repetition of the same
things are useless and lead nowhere.
It is useless to repeat "I will not be lustful." The I's of lust
will continue to exist in the depths of our psyche any-way.
It is useless to repeat daily "I will not get angry." The I's of
anger will continue to exist in our psychological depths.
It is useless to say "I will not be covetous anymore." The
I's of covetousness will continue to exist in the different
depths of our psyche.
It is useless to withdraw from the world, to retreat into a
convent or to live in a cave. The I's within us will continue to
exist.

Some cave-dwelling anchorites reached the ecstasy of the
saints through rigorous disciplines. They were taken to
heaven, where they heard and saw things which human
beings are not capable of understanding. Yet the I's continued
to exist in their interior.
Unquestionably, through rigorous disciplines the Essence
can escape from the I and enjoy ecstasy. But after having
experienced bliss, it returns to the interior of the "Me-Myself."
Those who have become accustomed to ecstasy without
having dissolved the "Ego" believe that they have already
reached liberation. They are fooling themselves, thinking that
they are Masters, until they enter submerged Involution.
We will never speak against mystical rapture, ecstasy or
the happiness of the Soul free of the EGO.
We just want to emphasize the need to dissolve the I's in
order to achieve final liberation.
As the Essence of any disciplined anchorite is accustomed
to escaping from the I, it repeats such exploits after the death
of the physical body. It enjoys ecstasy for a certain time and
then goes back, like the Genie of Aladdin's lamp, inside the
bottle, inside the Ego, the Me-Myself.
Then, he has no other alternative but to return to a new
physical body in order to repeat his life in the arena of existence.

Today, many mystics, who disincarnated in the caverns of
the Himalayas in Central Asia, are crude, common and
ordinary people in this world, in spite of the fact that their
followers still worship and venerate them.
Any attempt at liberation, however great it may be, is
condemned to failure if it does not take into account the
necessity of dissolving the Ego.

TO OUR READERS
It would be worthwhile for you to study my book, "The Great
Rebellion", as well as "Revolutionary Psychology" ... I
questioned some brothers and sisters; I asked them: "Well
brothers and sisters, have you studied my book THE GREAT
REBELLION?"
"Yes" (they told me), "we read it quickly ..." "Good, but did
you study it?"
"Well, as far as studying it goes, no. We read it at three
hundred miles an hour ..."
This horrified me. It took so many years to write the book,
THE GREAT REBELLION, or REVOLUTIONARY
PSYCHOLOGY; and they have read it in a couple of hours,
they already know it. . . !
They constantly come to me saying: "Well, I would like to
work on myself, I would like to dissolve the Ego, but I would
like you to teach me . . . !"
But these earthlings have such an abnormal psyche. They ask
me to teach them how to dissolve the Ego after having read
my book "Revolutionary Psychology"! How can this be? It is
in this book that I gave all the instructions, and now they ask
me to teach them! What is going on? Their intellectual center
is completely ruined!
In Atlantis, for example, or in Lemuria, no one studied this
way. A Lemurian, for example, considered letters to be sacred
and used an alphabet of 300 consonants and fifty-one become

conscious of a paragraph, they would spend entire days in
meditation. Then they were conscious of what they were
studying.
When one reads this way, "at three hundred miles an hour"
cover to cover and says, "I already read it, I already know it,"
one totally ruins the intellectual center. That is not how one
studies. One should not move ahead, go on to the next
paragraph, if one has not become conscious of the preceding
paragraph (we need to know what it is that we are going to
take to the intellectual center) . . .
Thus, my dear friends, do not destroy your intellectual center.
Do not destroy your emotional center either. Any emotion
must first pass through the filter of comprehension before the
emotional center can do anything. We must make ourselves
aware of all our perceptions, of all that we study, or of all that
comes to us.
If you carefully study my books "Revolutionary Psychology"
and "The Great Rebellion," and start to practice this
knowledge, I tell you in the ame of Truth that you will
successfully go through "Buddhist Annihilation." Then you
will establish a normal psychological condition in your psyche, in your interior. You will be able to come up to par with
all of the three-brained beings in the Cosmos. You will be able
to experience directly for yourselves THAT which is not Time,
THAT which is beyond the body, emotions and the mind.
Samael Aun Weor
MESSAGE TO THE MISSIONARIES FROM MASTER

SAMAEL AUN WEOR
"We need Patient Men who can withstand the most arduous
discipline, Friends of Culture, True aspirants of Pure Science.
"We want our Missionaries to have artistic sentiments, to
love Science, Philosophy and Mysticism, to sweetly vibrate
with the Corinthian Columns of GREECE, adorers of beauty.
"That they feel in their hearts the mysticism of Francis of
Assisi and truly long for the Wisdom of Egypt.
"We want Missionaries in whom the Beauty of the Spirit
and the Force of Love shine; Missionaries who are just as
much Scientists as they are Poets, who can investigate the
atom and stop to meditate on the babbling brook that flows
through the rocks.
"Missionaries who can meditate at the foot of the ruins in
Athens or ancient Rome; Missionaries who know how to
admire the chisel of Praxiteles; Missionaries who know how
to truly Love all Humanity; Missionaries who vibrate with the
lyre of Orpheus and who sing with Homer in the delightful
land of the Hellenes. This is the type of Missionary that we
long for.
"Missionaries who can admire the twinkling of the Stars;
Missionaries who are in love with the Pure Nights; Mission-
aries who have a Beloved Sweetheart and this sweetheart is

called Urania. This is the type of Missionary that we want.
"Missionaries who long for in-depth christification and
who truly feel the beauty of Love as Brother Francis felt it in
his heart. We need Missionaries like this.
"Begone from within us Anger, Covetousness, Lust, Envy,
Pride, Laziness, Gluttony! Begone from us the Thorn that
injures the Flesh! Begone from us the discord of gossip and
slander! Begone from us the disgusting Poison of Envy!
Begone from us the Monster of Lust!
"We want Missionaries who, with the slow and gentle steps
of the Great Hellenites, go from door to door preaching the
Word. This is the type of Missionary that we want.
"In no way do we want to make a business out of Gnosis."
"FINANCES BEGONE FROM UNIVERSAL
GNOSTICISM!
"WE WANT ONLY ONE THING:
"TO DEEPLY LOVE HUMANITY"!
INVERENTIAL PEACE !

NOTICE
The Universal Christian Gnostic
Movement
The Universal Christian Gnostic Movement (UCGM) was founded by Master Samael Aun Weor on
October 13,1960 in Cienaga Magdalena (Colombia). The Government of Magdalena granted it a
Charter as per Resolution No 050 of February 20, 1961 and statutory reform as per Resolution No
0264 of April 2,1985. Internationally, the UCGM is officially registered in every country where it is
established.
The UCGM is a non-profit and non-political organization. It operates on a national level from
established headquarters in every country, and on an international level from the city of Bogota
(Colombia).
The UCGM is a scientific and mystic organization that strives to raise the spiritual, moral, physical
and intellectual levels of its members and of the community in general.
The UCGM complies with the laws and regulations of every country in which it is established, and
acts in accordance with the related provisions of its constitution.
The UCGM is supported by the voluntary donations of its members. Therefore, it does not solicit
economic help from any government, be it municipal, provincial, state or national; or from any
governmental or international institutions.

The study centers strive for human regeneration. They are not places of healing, homeopathy,
astrology, divination; nor places where Kabala or tarot card reading is done; neither are they places
where lucky charms or incense are sold; nor do we practice cleansing or interpret dreams; nor do we
encourage contact with extra-terrestrials; practice martial arts; offer titles of mastery or initiation, or
clairvoyance; give supernatural powers or give courses in that respect; practice spiritism,
magnetism, parapsychology or witchcraft.
We publicly denounce any irregular conduct by any person or group who acts in the name of the
GNOSTIC MOVEMENT or GNOSIS.
Anyone can inform the National Coordinating Board of their country of any wrongdoing by the
members of the UCGM that would affect society in general, so that the necessary corrective
measures are taken.

"The TRUTH is not a question of accepting something

or rejecting it. The truth is a question of
EXPERIENCING, LIVING, COMPREHENDING.
Once all of us have understood in a complete manner
and on all levis of the mind how important it is to
study man from the new point of view of the
REVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS, then we
will understand that Psychology is the study of
principies, laws and facts that are intimately related to
the radical and definitive transformation of an
individual.
INTELLIGENCE can never be just a mere mechanical
functionalism. INTELLIGENCE is the capacity to
directly receive the ESSENCE, the REAL, that which
truly IS.
And this is only possible through the
PSYCHOLOGY OF THE REVOLUTION ON
THE MOVE..."
